Nearing the End

Yesterday we drove to Schloss Bueckeburg, about an hour away. What beautiful scenery all around the castle! Unfortunately it didn't work to tour the inside, so we waked through the town, where there was a festival. They had a few rides and lots of booths set up with snacks, jewelery, purses, etc. It was nice being part of the local culture.

Of course a trip to Espelkamp should include a stop for ice cream, even if it is cold outside. It's not just any old ice cream after all. Delicious! (I've written a lot about food, haven't I? Hmmm, I'm thinking we are going to have to do something about that when we get home.)

In the evening we played a tense, but fun game of Elfer Raus, which ended with John as the champion.

Farewells are so hard and we are sad to have to say good bye to the Enns Family. We had a fantastic time with them!

We arrived in Hannover shortly and were relieved to have no complications with dropping off the vehicle. Tomorrow we begin the long journey home and are expecting to arrive at the Winnipeg airport at 8:30 p.m.

We have missed everyone back home and are looking forward to seeing you all and catching up!
