Yesterday we drove to Bielefeld with Inga and her daughter, Elif. We had a wonderful visit with her mom, Tante Helena, Tante Marga and Onkel Waldemar and my grandma's sister, Tante Marusja and Onkel Ernst. After 15 years, they were exactly as I remember them. Cornie commented a few times on how much he could see a resemblance between Tante Marusja and my dad. We were spoiled again with a delicious meal with wonderful desserts. On top of that we received gifts; Lindt chocolate from Tante Marga and a beautiful painting done by Tante Helena. It reminds us of our time in Italy. So glad we took the time to stop in to see them!
From there we headed to Espelkamp, 45 minutes away, to visit our friends Henry and Lisa and their boys. Their middle son is studying in Bulgaria, but Christopher and John were home. Today we bundled up and headed back to Bielefeld for a soccer game. It's a fun sport to watch because there is little down time. In between, it's aways fun to watch the fans, both the crazy fanatics as well as the ones that were too ''cool'', literally, and not really in the age bracket where being ''cool'' is in! and Bielefeld won! and is now in second place in their league.
We feel very blessed to be able to spend time with our relatives and friends, and are overwhelmed by their kindness and hospitality. They have truly gone out of their way to make us feel so welcome and special.
