Germany 2014 - Day 5 - Dresden
Today we
traveled to Dresden. In 2004 we visited this city and
toured the cellar area of the nearly restored Frauenkirche.
This church was totally destroyed during WWII. Restored
church was opened agin to the public in 2005 and we wanted to
return to see the completed reconstruction. After a salad
lunch across the street from the church we were able to go
inside and view it. The trip to and from Dresden on the
autobahn was another high-speed drive. We observed only one
accident which of course added a huge backup. We did a
first-time almost total fill-up of the gas tank. GULP!
Approximately 13 gallons for about $102! After returning
to the hotel we visited with Cousin Sylvia, her husband René. We
enjoyed a very generous Abend Essen of cold cuts, cheeses,
veggies, fruit and beer and wine. We were also joined by
their son, Alex who came from Leipzig for the evening.
What a treat to meet new cousins.
