Tuesday the 7th started out with a quiet breakfast and some laundry at Jokke and Merja’s. The boys took a moment to show us one of their favorite Minecraft videos. They could watch these videos for hours.
Jokke, Bruce and I took a walk into town to check out Jokke’s favorite secondhand store and visit a drugstore so I could buy a contact lens case, which I’d forgotten to pack.
After the second load of laundry was hung out to dry, we jumped in the car and headed to a lake called Heyeglassee. No surprise, Finn was the first one in the cold water.
Ezra and Bruce were more skeptical.
Eventually Ezra was all the way in, too.
And so were Bruce and Jokke.
After everyone was dried off, we headed to Kloster Luccum, a former monastery dating back centuries.
We stopped for a coffee and snack at their very modern looking cafe.
And then went on a walk around the grounds. It was wonderful … except for the biting horse flies!
On our way back out to the car we noticed a not-so-little free library. Tons of books! We saw two more in other areas of Germany that looked exactly the same.
On the way home the skies opened up and it poured. So much for leaving the laundry out to dry while we were gone — good thing they have a dryer!
Here are all of my photos from this day.
