Busy busy busy! Friday morning I played Badminton – I am really liking this activity. Once my schedule settles down I will try to play 2 times a week. It’s aerobic and fun. In the afternoon, I worked on Ewa’s business cards. She is starting a business to take tours into Poland, where she’s from. Both Badminton, and my meeting Ewa are through the IWC.

Saturday, Logan had a first-aid course. It’s required for getting his German driver’s license. I spent the day catching up on laundry, grocery shopping, finishing Ewa’s cards. What a pain to try & get a template to match the cards themselves. The Avery U.S. site disclaimed all knowledge of the product number – which I was looking at, on the Avery branded-packaging. Finally found it on the UK web site.

That evening, we went to see the new Wallace & Grommit movie – Curse of the Were-Rabbit. It was delightful – funny, smart and lots of jokes for the adults. I highly recommend it.

Sunday we took a day trip. The weather here has been stellar – bright & sunny, cool, very autumnal. The trees are changing color & dropping leaves. We took advantage of this to visit the town of Landsberg, about 50 KM from here. It’s on the river Lech, and the east side of the town is hilly. There’s old town wall – built in the 1200’s, complete with lookout turrets – that goes for a mile or two. Down the hill, into town, are small twisty cobblestone streets. Many beautiful ornate buildings and statues and fountains. Then you come to the river – very broad, with a waterfall (man-made) and diversion of part into a mill-race. There’s a street of cottages built above the mill-race. With our history of water, it didn’t look like a good idea! Too much fast-moving water within a foot of the floorboards. But picturesque as possible.

There were cafes along the river. We sat there & had lunch, drinking in the view & sunshine. Lots of people were out for the day, most of them ended up in line to buy ice cream. We had noticed this before, it seems to be the national treat on Sunday, to get an ice cream. No matter what the weather.

I have to go now, grab breakfast then make a quick grocery run - Peri & Brian got here yesterday. Today the 4 of us are planning to take a train tour to Newschwanstein.
