We just keep cruising along with more and more interesting programs and fun things to do. Today we had a fascinating tour of Flensburg with lots of information about its complicated history with Denmark. We met with the town planner at the town hall and then attended the meeting of the Flensburger Förde RC where we enjoyed a lovely luncheon and gave our presentation. Everyone seemed to enjoy it very much and the song went well. Later we had an informative and fun walk with Willfried Janßen, a retired professor of biology. He showed us around a nature preserve on the edge of the Förde at Holnis. His passion about the environment and the interrelationship of man to nature came through very clearly. We ended the day with a magnificent meal at the Fährhaus Holnis restaurant. We share pictures of our presentation song; RC president Eric Mader and GSE coordinator for the Flensburger Förde RC Franyiska Sievers with the team; a plate of delicious lamb, potatoes and green beans with bacon; and an out-of-sight desert with pudding, rum, fruit, und schlag; and finally a picture of me and my wonderful hosts Ursula and Eric.
