Dachau
We got up early for the 2 hour drive into Germany to visit Dachau before church. We briefed the kids on WWII, the Nazi regime & the holocaust. It was a sobering tour through the empty grounds with the barbed wire, guard towers, memorials & the harrowing crematorium... |

We enjoyed the sacrament service in English & the Mother's Day program with the 7 local kids who sang one song, "I often go walking," one we don't hear much these days, but that we sang as kids back in the 70s! They passed out flowers for all the mothers but Stacia declined as a traveler & difficulty having it in the car. I think she should have accepted it anyway. As we were worn out from a long day already, we didn't stay for the next 2 hours & made a mad dash for the van in the pouring rain.Again

The education, memories and good times with each other is amazing. Can't wait to hear details.
