The work aspect of the trip is going well. We are wrapping up here in
Geilenkirchen and moving onto Spangdahlem tomorrow morning. We are
planning on finishing Friday around Oberammagau. This weekend was
fantastic. I got a ride to Bruehl and met up with Stefan my exchange
student from about 17yrs ago. This train in was a little late so I went
to his parents and it was like I was only gone a few months. Stefan and
his parents look great, and are in good health. Stefan older brother is
running a very nice spot in Bruehl and was packed both Friday and
Saturday night. Mathias, Stefan's younger brother took over his dad's
architecture company two years ago and is doing well. He just finished
building an apartment building with 25 apartments. Stefan and I went out
on Friday night and well... we are not 17 anymore. It hurt the next
day, Stefan was in worse shape then I and it was quite funny watching
his mom laugh at him in the morning. Saturday we went to the Christmas
market in Cologne. It was very nice and we met some of Stefan's friends
and had Gluewein. That night we took it quite a bit easier and went
through pictures from Stefan's south American trip. Sunday we went for a
nice Greek lunch before I hopped on the train to go back to
Geilenkirchen. The weekend went by way too fast and I hope its not
another 20yrs before I get to see them again. I will keep in touch with
Stefan more, his birthday is on Friday.
