For my parent's last real day in Germany we
traveled back to Nuremberg, and got them checked into a hotel right across from
the airport. Their flight was 6:30
Monday morning, so minimal travel was best.
We decided to take the subway and then pop out in a part of town where I
had never been before. It took a few
minutes to get oriented but it was beautiful and there was a good panini shop
nearby. Eating there was a relief after all
the heavy German food we’d been having.
Karen joined and we all went outside the city to Docu Zentrum where
Hitler gave many speeches and marched his army in a parade before audiences of
200,000 people. There had been a big
schwastika built into the wall but they blew it up after the war. Now the whole area is a big sports complex. They were playing American football when we
were there.
We headed back into the city for a nice Italian
dinner. We also got some white
asparagus. It is in season in Germany
this time of year, and everyone is really into it. I had some and it tastes fine, but just very
plain. I don’t know what all the fuss is
about.
Anyways, it was such a blessing having my
parents get to come visit me here. We
had a lot of good quality time together, lots of catching up, and of course the
fun that you’ve seen through my last few entries.
