click here --> Christa Schwarz-Weber Visit  -- My maternal grandmother, Elma Schwarz's grandfather (Wilhelm Schwarz) came over from Friedberg, Germany to the US in 1849, settling in Baltimore, MD.  He was a great (times 5) uncle of Christa.  

click here --> Andy and Cologne Visit -- Andy and Trevor used to work together in the GTP racing days.  Andy and his wonderful family, Trisha and Emma have been living in Germany for several years.  Each year they send a wonderful Christmas card inviting us to visit them.  This was the year.

click here --> Fast Laps at Nurgbrurgring -- Andy and Trevor take a few laps around the course with Andy coaching Trevor in his rental car.  It was even fun for ME !

click here --> Strasbourg France -- We traveled across the border into France to visit the wonderful city of Strasbourg.  We stayed in the old section which is connected with many beautiful canals.

click here --> Black Forest Journey -- It was green and it was beautiful, we started out in the north section and traveled south almost to Switzerland. 

click here --> Lindau Island -- located on Lake Constance -- it was all about the harbor and the lighthouse.  I kept thinking my brothers would have loved it here.  It is somewhere we'd like to return to.
