Last Day

Time: 9:35pm CEST

Today, after the Uncle had his satellite repaired (damaged or something from the storm that knocked out the DSL), we drove to the graveyard in Giessen. Mom and the Uncle had to finalize their parents' grave site. Here, graves expire after 25 years of shall we say inactivity. The Uncle has been paying each year of the past 25 for "rent." In July, however, the plot will be cleared.

After that, we returned the car to Hertz. No news about a ticket. Maybe I got lucky or more likely the government is a little slower to dish out the pain. Ah well. I'm going to miss that little Audi. 1600 kilometers.

Mom made lunch today. Chicken and rice in cream of mushroom soup with cheese baked on top.

And finally, Mom, myself and Anka again took a walk around the fields just north of the Uncle's house. Windy, really wind, but nice.

That's it. Packed and ready to go.

That news about the Turkish airport doesn't help.
