Traveling in Southern Germany

What a joy it is to travel together with a friend, Les from Kenya spend some days with me. Our days were filled visting with wonderful places around the southern parts of Germany. Sometimes I "forget" how beautiful Germany is.

Here some pictures from Lake Constance. The Island of Mainau is in the middle of the lake and a gorgeous spot to visit. The castle and the gardens are magnificent. Highlight is the butterfly house.

A New Experience

 Part of life is to experience and learning new things. A wonderful way to grow and expanding my world. Yesterday I had the privilege to practice shooting with bow and arrow.  As you can see in the pictures the scenery is beautiful and the company of my nephew (my teacher) and his kids made it even more special. I love the challenge and enjoyed it immensely.
