Today was an adventure. We attempted to go to an old concentration camp but the road was too snowy so we turned around and went somewhere else. We ended up going to this old village that is surrounded by these huge walls in some giant star like shape that looks sort of like the star of David. Anyways, the walls are very high so that when people tresspassed they could use the Rhine river to flood and drown anyone in the moat (since they would keep the moat dry for that very reason). The bells from the church inside the village went off and it sounded sooo gorgeous, it was just so amazing.
We then went to some town where we walked around and went through a "Little Venice" and then some. Marilyn bought Kezia and I (unknown to us at the time) these GORGEOUS necklaces. They are wonderful and we are just so unbelievably greatful for her genorousity.
We then took a long and confusing drive home because I'm assuming they were fed up with the Tom Tom or whatver they call it. I also noticed that where we are is completely surrounded by wineries = Kezia and I end up having wine every single night although we completely do not fancy it whatsoever. We drink it to be polite and to uphold this traditional dinning etiquettte although I am quite sure this will not translate back in Canada.
I plan to put some pictures up but there are so many emails and things I have yet to do while sharing one computer with Kezia and I hate to hog.
Other than that, tomorrow we meet Delphine and we plan to go into town and buy a whole bunch of things.. or at least I do (go figure).
Much love to those at home and thanks for all the prayers and love,
Gros Bisous!
