Cold War relics turned into a park and nature center may not sound like a great tourist stop, but it is. We're in a little village near Bremen with Doug's high school friend, Michael Pitz, who showed us the short-range missile site from the Reagan years. It's in Barrien where we aimed these weapons toward the USSR back in the 1980s. The park is a much better use of the lush green northern German countryside.
Michael's wife Margaret Grewenig is a goldsmith who makes beautiful jewelry. Their son Moritz is a filmmaker who lives in Vienna. It was great that our visit to Bremen coincided. Moritz' girlfriend Katerine, a theater director, is also here. Michael teaches music and piano at the high school.
Jenelle sent me your blog address, I hope that's ok. I love hearing about your trip! So fun that you have people to show you what to do/where to go. Looks like you're having lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you plan a women's trip and invite me?
