Ok, instead of telling you day by day and hour by hour what we are up to, I will just summarize the trip by saying that the Germans are very, VERY good at preserving the past and protecting the future.
I say this with all the seriousness that I can....
Yesterday, we went to an open air museum where they have taken old half timbered houses and reconstructed them in the original fashion in a park like setting. Very similar to the way a village would have been set up in the 1600-1800's. Unbelieveable.
We also saw a Roman museum from the Roman empires era...the things that were still intact and recognizeable are really, really amazing. It is hard to describe, but trust me, there is some really old stuff here!!
And the third event for yesterday was an organic farm. This man spoke very little English, but this did not matter at all...he passion crossed all language boundaries. He needs to meet Al Gore.
Germans may smoke in the forest, but we throw things in landfills, tear down buildings without hestiation and we drive wasteful cars, waste water and burn oil like there is no tomorrow...
We have a LOT to learn from these delightful people...
