Feeling a bit out of whack from jet lag, we managed to pull ourselves together Saturday morning with the help of good coffee and a delicious breakfast. As if the sausages the night before weren’t enough, the boys were pretty pleased to see their morning selections — bread with honey, chocolate, and/or Nutella.
After breakfast, we set off on a walking tour of Nienburg. The first photo is Jokke and Merja’s house.
We stopped at the bank to get some Euros and then made our way to the “downtown” area.
We saw the first of many churches we would see on our trip.
Finn’s face here sort of sums up how the boys feel about visiting churches.
We continued on …
… and made an impromptu stop at their police museum.
They gave the boys some police car shaped gummy candy.
And then we moved on to the Saturday market and saw this ode to asparagus farming fountain.
We made our way to a cafe for a much needed cold drink.
In the evening, Emi and Jakob came over (although I have no pictures of Jakob — he’s camera shy, I think).
Jokke, Bruce and Finn played horseshoes on the side yard.
Ezra enjoyed the pond and the fish.
Later, he and Jokke stuck their feet in, hoping for a little nibble.
We also enjoyed some cherries that the boys picked from a neighbor’s tree. Yum!
It was a great day! At some point, we couldn’t keep our eyes open any longerĀ and we gave in, hoping for a good night’s rest.
Here’s a slideshow of all of my photos from this day.
