A most delightful day. I ran at six, expecting to depart for the amusement park at 8, but was pleasantly surprised with a morning message from Claudia that Monika had proposed a last minute alternate venue for the ladies. A day in town to shop, have lunch, and relax. Hmm a day filled with lines for roller coasters or ladies day. Hands down, an easy decision was made. Chris and I both wanted to shop for some chocolate to take home. We spent a few hours in Aalen, browsed the shops, went to the grocey store, and had a superb lunch together. I had the maultaschen served within a scrambled egg, another version, just as delicious. We stopped in a newer church that features the artwork of a priest, Seiger Koder. The Stations of the Cross, were striking, full of vibrant colors. Another holy site. We topped off our day with coffee and chocolate at Claudia's. I indulged in a nap while Claudia prepared the dough for the French version of pizza and crepes. The entire group was coming to her home for a meal tonight. The students arrived with smiles and many roller coaster stories. This was the only day we spent apart from the kids, but I was totally comfortable at this point going our separate ways. Everyone had a great day where they were. After lots of pizza and crepes, the kids played foosball and then went to Sandi's for a movie. Our days together are drawing to a close.
