SWEET MEMORIES, MOVING ON, FOREVER CHANGED!

Within a short time, I'll be leaving Munich, Germany, and the surrounding towns and villages and heading home to the U.S.  After almost four months here, I'm ready to return home to Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes.  But I'll never forget my time here in Bavaria with good friends.  They've been incredibly kind and generous, and this time has enabled me to do a lot of healing and soul searching, and at the same time to explore the magnificent beauty of southern Germany. More than twenty-five years have elapsed since my last visit to Germany, and more than anything, I feel gratitude for being granted this one-of-a-kind experience. I hope the pictures I've posted will reflect what a beautiful, scenic, and exciting area Bavaria is.  I've met wonderful people here from many different parts of Germany and had fascinating talks. Sometimes it's been hard to see my own country from a different perspective, but I've tried to stay "open," and have hoped that my old and new friends would do the same. We have much in common.

Here are just a few representative photos of my time here.  I hope they are as enjoyable to you as they are to me.
