August 22

Well, it was Sunday today, so it was pretty quiet and restful for me.  During the afternoon and evening I met Dirk in Bad Kreuznach, and hung out with him and some friends, then with his niece (just turned 5 and has the same bday as Katie), sister and brother-in-law.  It was nice to see him one last time, and to see what a fair type thing looks like in Germany.  It was quite similar to what the Hudsonville fair is like, except with German food and such.  I spent the evening getting the rest of my things ready to leave on Monday morning.
