after the wedding
we left bremen
and headed
northeast
to luschendorf
to visit
my uncles
gerhard & herbert,
aunt irmgard,
and all my cousins.
vee loved
uncle
gerhard's
garden.
it was
a children's
paradise.
we sat
in the garden
and took
turns pulling
vee around
in her
blue chariot.
the next morning
vee played
with her cousin ella!
ella is just
a few months older
than vee.
in the afternoon
we took
a trip
to lübeck...
one of
my favorite
european cities.
i lived
in lübeck
for a summer
years ago
and wanted
to see how it
had changed.
our primary
reason
for going
to lübeck
was to visit
niederegger.
the mecca
of marzipan.
my siblings and i
have cherished
memories
of receiving packs
of niederegger marzipan
for christmas
from our oma.
john & vee
were very excited.
vee helped
her papa
select
some marzipan
to take home.
of course
we
had to eat
some marzipan cake
at
the niederegger café!
we tried
5 different
types of cake!
vee helped
us decide
which one
we liked best!
then
it was time
to
join my cousins
by the obertrave
for a beer
before heading
back to luschendorf.
unfortunately,
our visit
was
short.
the next morning
we were
on the train
home to
neuchâtel.
fortunately,
vee had
a new friend
to play
with
on the long
trip
home.
