See the blimp above my head?
May 15, 2010
We landed 10:00 in the morning Germany time which was 2:00 AM Boise time. When we landed my mom’s foreign exchange student came to pick us up. His name is Peter Schäfer and he is very kind. He lived with my mom for a year in 1971-1972 when she was a freshman in high school and my Uncle Steve was a senior like Peter. They’ve seen each other many times over the years between.
Peter had pillows for us in the car in case we were tired from the long plane ride. He also had snacks. It is a five hour drive from Munich to Freiburg. We stopped for lunch at an Air Museum cafeteria where Peter is a tour guide. He has retired from the German military where he was a helicopter pilot.We sat outside and while we were eating we saw a big blimp leave and come back with tourists on it. This is a picture of me with the blimp way above my head.
Our house is in a small village outside Freiburg called Kirchzarten. Actually we are in a tiny village called “Burg Birkenhof” about two miles from Kirchzarten’s downtown or “Marktplatz”. It was nice to see my dad. He went ahead of us and we hadn’t seen him for ten days!
