Dresden Germany

On Saturday Teri from Karlovary came into Prague and we got together. She was an international student in Ione Oregon when I was pastor there, and had gone through Confirmation classes with me. We had a great time together. Of course there is so much she knows that I don't! We went grocery shopping together and she showed me which butter, water, eggs, milk, cream, etc. to get. It went so smoothly! I keep quoting her because she taught me so much!

On Sunday we took the train to Dresden Germany. Because I am here for 93 days, I have to leave the country and come back, because a tourist visa is only for 90 days. The train ride was beautiful, following the Vltava River, and then the Elbe. When we got to Dresden, a beautiful German city, it was bitter cold with high winds. We enjoyed the Christmas bazarres and the beautiful architecture, but it was too cold to stay outside. We came back on the 4:00 train.

We have two weeks left here, and realize that we will not get to everything. Its hard to think about leaving, will we fit everything in our suitcases, how will we get home from the airport, is the house still standing, etc.
