Since my last post, I`ve traveled from
Amsterdam (where I finished up my tour of the red light district and shared a lovely Valentine`s dinner with my host Ramon)
to Munster (where I delighted in the company of Jenny, Joana and Daniel -we drank Jack`s homemade dandelion wine -imported all the way from Cape Breton, we celebrated a birthday and we danced and danced and danced)
to Munich (where I took the train to because I slept through the station where I was supposed to get off the night train...)
to Schwabmunchen (for plenty of good food -as usual- with Lucia`s family)
to Kochel (a small town in Bavaria that has proven to be absolutely amazing! Lucia and I are staying with friends Angi and Bene. Last night Ange invited me to tag a long with her to her choir practice. It`s something very special to realize that singing is such a universal art, and I felt very welcomed and content as we sang together. Afterwards we sang and drank beer at a local Bavarian restaurant, I chatted with a cabinet maker who has been to Canada over 10 times- mostly hiking in such northern places as the MacKenzie Trail, and a man who makes window blinds-I`ve never met a person who makes window blinds before!
They both paid for my beer and apfelkuchen, and then another of the choir members offered to show me around the region today! Unbelievable!!
The weather has been beautiful since I arrived in Germany, and I`m so thankful for the generosity and kindness that I`ve encountered.
Life is rich!
Alleluia!!
