I spent the day hiking in the German Alps, walking in Hitlers “Eagles Nest” and learning about the Nazi´s presence in the area. The weather is the most spetacular that we have had and the mountains are beautiful (the second highest peak in Germany) either way…i got to get going, my hitched ride is taking […]
We traveled from Delft, Netherlands to Brugge Belgium. We spent 2 days in Brugge. I guess I got too confidant and happy with the weather because Friday in Delft was really rainy as was Saturday and Sunday. Of course the weather cleared up for our train ride back to Marburg yesterday.(cause you know that it […]
a reader of this blog made this comment:
I think people being nice to each other is a great thing. Fellowship is a great thing… but when you say Christian fellowship is a great thing, there’s a subtle implication there that non-Christians aren’t as “nice and helpful” as Christians. Just some food for thought.
I am going […]

Today was just right in termperature, and visuals. We went back to the small streets and castle that we traveled through last night, but this time it was daytime so people were about and the buldings were lit up. I still can’t get over some of the buildings here in Marburg. They are the style […]
Everyone loves pictures! well I finally figured everything out and while It may be some time before yous see some pictures of the Netherlands (we go there next week and come back to Marburg where a computer and dial-up connection will await us) here are some things to show you what I have been up […]
Can I just say that I wish I was in Michigan right now…but only because I hear it is very warm. it is like…aw heck stupid celcius…probably in the 50’s and cloudy. It feels like Michigan in the fall. I am eagerly waiting the moment when I can walk around in a t-shirt and not […]
I brought the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies…the ingrediens that German grocery stores do not have (Vanilla extract, chocolate chips, and brown sugar) then I made the cookies today…let’s just say that German families LOVE home made chocolate chip cookies…I must admit they were quite good. So I guess that is a good thing […]

I am very happy that […]
