pictures for last two trips, other random things...

Man.

Lots of stuff going on/happening... but I feel good about where we are.  I will be a parent soon but I feel relatively anxious free, calm, and a subtle excitement that I presume will become a crescendo as the pregnancy progresses.

I say all of this tongue and cheek because it’s one of the awesome things about being here... but one of the things I would like to illustrate in this post is that the Germans are strange.  I mean, you should see some of the running and biking gear these cats wear- SCARY to put it nicely.  That is the strange thing though- its strangely accepted with little awareness that it is so frightening.  Its cool that there is that kind of freedom here (but it is a little rough on the eyes sometimes).

The following pictures are from Regensburg (pop. 131,000, situated along the Danube, 1.20 hr SE by car) and Weissenburg (pop. 13,000, 35 min. SE by car).

Matthew 16:24, written in Latin?... "Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me"

One of the things the Germans get right is ice cream!!!  Hazelnut is my favorite.
