As a treat for Ouma’s birthday on the 13th, we took her to the casino for the night. This is, according to her, the best thing you can do for her as a treat.
She had a blast gambling, and actually left with more money than she started with.
We stayed at the hotel on property so she could play as late (and early the next day) as she wanted to.
Happy early birthday, Ouma!

It is 4:15 am and we are in the airport in Istanbul. This is a 24hr airport so everything is open.
Since we are in Turkey, we decided to try a Turkish Coffee. Yeah… that was interesting. Was like trying to chew through coffee flavoured mud. Now we know!
Off to Germany in a few hours.

Made it to Germany!
Spent all afternoon and evening just visiting and relaxing and eating and drinking. So much fun.
These are wonderful people.
The ladies went grocery shopping. The guys went to buy wine.
We went to this charming wine store in Weinheim where you can taste any of the wines! You just ask and the owner will open it and give you a taste. Interesting concept, specially early in the morning!

We arrived early to make sure everything was set up and ready.
It was very beautiful and it had everything ready to be a great night.
What a great night!
Music brings people together. The band was so good. Reputedly one of the best in the area. And that might just be true!
There was great food, wonderful wines and so much love in the air. We started at 6 and finally left around 2am.
Of course we toasted a great night with Champagne after we got home. It was a long fantastic celebration.
We took a day trip out to a very pretty historical town. Walked around the city center looking at buildings older than the US and had lunch outside on the square.

We had a wonderful dinner at one of the nicest restaurants in the Odenwald.
Everything was so fresh and delicate.
