As we begin our last day of travel, we reflect back on the many experiences we've enjoyed. Highlights for us include an evening spent with our host in Bielefeld at the flat of a refugee from Iraq. We heard about his harrowing journey through Turkey, Greece, Serbia and others lasting 23 days, arriving in Germany knowing no one and speaking no German. He prepared an amazing dinner for us and now sees hope for his future in his new home, Germany.
Throughout our travels, we've heard about the destruction of lives and building that took place during WWII and have witnessed the incredible rebuilding that has taken place. And of course we relish the new friends we've made--special folks from the German partnership who were so very gracious, knowledgeable and helpful and our traveling companions from the USA. It's been a wonderful trip!
