Germany - Day 3

On day three, I woke up earlier than normal, and went with Andrea and Andreas to a Gottesdienst (church service) that their oldest son was participating in. He had been at a week long retreat that ended with a service which was conducted by the kids. I haven't been to church in years, but it was pretty cool. Casual and fun. After that, we met up with the family, including my host brother Stefan and cousin Claudia, for a delicious meal of duck, red cabbage and potato croquettes. That afternoon we met up at my host-parent's beautiful new house, which is on a lake in Northern Germany. The boys got a ride in the row boat, and we enjoyed some coffee and cake. After wards, we all took a nice long walk. Across the street from their house is a forest, and a massive horse back riding area. Another perfect place to let H & C loose. That night, Brian and I stayed up way too late drinking beer with Andrea and Andreas. So much fun.
