Der Vater an I climbed the tallest church spire in the world. The best news about that: we have an immediate out to climb any more church spires if we don't want to. Why climb another after you've climbed the tallest?

Meanwhile, Die Mutter and Das Madchen drank coffee. Apparently 768 steps in praise of the Lord was not of immediate interest to them. Der Hund, also, was more interested in laying in the sun and growling at other passing dogs.

Please Der Junge, Das Machen and I were sipping frothy cappacinos in the lazy,warm,German Sunday Morning sun, contemplating (along with Der Hund) the higher complexities of Einstein's Theory of Relativity (as we were reminded when we visited his town of Ulm). Of course, you guys had to sprint up 768 stairs to prove your 'brawn power' over your 'brain power.' Who do you think had the better time?? xoxom
