Enjoying Germany


This is a walking trail that we hope to use sometime this week! 
Below is a picture of the Rhein River. A famous river that travels through the city of Dusseldorf.  It is a narrow river but is passage for ships the size of freighters to small run abouts.




These pictures are just down from our hotel.  The parks are beautiful with many walking trails.  The pictures don't show how green everything looks.





During our walk we saw this beautiful little street with old buildings and gas lit lanterns for street lights.  The small narrow streets were something from the scene of a movie.





We just received a phone call from the X-Cell center saying they will be picking us up at the hotel in the morning for Jessica's procedure.  


Tonight we are meeting up with some friends of Yasmine and Heinrich (friends that donated the beautiful necklace for the fundraiser).  We are very excited to get out of our hotel room and see some of Germany from a local perspective!


Their names are Dieter and Marie-Therese Grosche.  Marie-Therese plays the Tuba in a local Music School and Dieter plays the Trombone in a famous local band that plays all over the world.  Please check out their website:  http://www.powerkraut-dixie.de/e_band.htm
