We had some visitors

There are advantages to living in Europe. The best one so far is that Sascha and his girl friend, Wiebke, came to visit us. Sascha was a exchange student from Germany that we were fortunate enough to have stay with us for a few months in 1998. He went to Mountain Crest High School and was a great tennis player there.

We had lunch at our abode and then showed them the sights of Sopron.

 This is a fountain where the water shoots up in rhythm to the music. This place makes us really homesick for our grand kids because there are always little kids here with their parents or grandparents.

This is a picture to remind them of what country they visited!

It is always interesting to go to the Piknik Area and read about the happenings of August 19, 1989 which began the collapse of the Iron Curtain.

Of course we needed to get a picture of the statue. The rock you can see in the crack is from the    Berlin Wall.

We went to the Ferto Lake or Neusiedler See as they call it in Austria. It borders Hungary and Austria and is really pretty. There were fishermen, boats and a nice swimming area. When James and Britt were here we drove to the lake but stopped before we had to pay to get closer. I might add that it was worth the 500 forints ($2.50) to get in this time. Thanks for paying Sascha!

It was really great to spend time with both of them.
