German Homestay

It always nice to find the a home in my homeland. Staying with family in Germany was great not only did i get to see alot more of Germany but i got to see some of my family including cousins, parents, and siblings on this trip. Catching up with them made me feel welcome and reminde me of the good things in germany that i missed. You can see my ‘big’ sister left.


I have also seen more of the black forest - famous for it’s cake, schinken, and cuckoo clocks. In fact left is the worlds largest cuckoo clock, cuckooing, and some lovely waterfalls in the forest right. Other highlights include rivercruises outdoor theater.



There are of course more many more castles and historic towns and scenery i don’t have time or space to mention... but in light of my previous occupation i thought i would mention the ‘atomkeller’ the cellar in which the nazi time scientists tried to harness atomic power. Here is photo of the reactor each of the squares was a cube of uranium oxide and was suspended in a heavy water solution.


World Cup update: On to Argentina v Germany . Or as the English newspapers put it “the german warmachine marches on” meanwhile Australia marches toward another 4:0 this time at the hands of the English cricket team...
I am glad to report that according to some aussies i just met Australia has won the 4th??! Today?

How i am to see the next game i don’t know... i will be on a train.
