German Hospitality

Which includes really good wine apparently... Wow. The evening is a bit overwhelming however, as the conversation keeps switching from German to English and I speak... no German. So I´m taking a break on the offered computer. My wonderful host is the daughter of the man my father worked for thirty years ago. Dad´s here too by the way and I´m enjoying spending time with him alone.

I am currently in Munster, where I´ve seen four churches, the building where the Peace of Westphalia was signed (thereby ending the 30 years war) and a swan that fell in love with a swan-shaped boat.

Oh, and I´ve eaten a lot. Now I´m fighting off the exhaustion that naturally comes by a long day wandering in the rain followed by three large glasses of spanish wine and a lot of paella. (I know, I thought I´d left Spain too. But then, it is a small world.)

Well, I should get back to my hosts. But not to the wine, I do need to actually need to be able to walk to my bed tonight...
