Buchenwald, Weimar, Wartberg and Paris

This will be a short post.  Thank you for your faithful log-ins and comments… we’ve really enjoyed sharing your notes with the whole team on the bus and in transit.

Yesterday, we visited Weimar, Germany’s cultural center.  Up the hill is an unmistakable tower, visible for miles and miles.  It marks the concentration camp where tens of thousands lost their lives during the Nazi regime – Buchenwald.

Then on to Wartburg where Luther hid from the Roman Church in hot pursuit.  Luther’s excommunication triggered upheaval; and as the church battled, he translated the New Testament for the first time from Greek into common German.

After a final farewell dinner in Frankfurt, Dennis our guide and cheerleader, we bunked at the Holiday Inn Express for the night and made an early departure (5AM) for the Frankfurt Airport.

I’m writing from the gate at Charles DeGaulle in Paris.  So far, everything has gone smoothly and we should be arriving home at our various destinations pretty much on time.

You’ll notice the current count is 1,747 hits.  Wow!  We’re gratified to know that so many have been following our progress.  It has been the journey of a lifetime.

Early yesterday morning, we shared our impressions.  I wish you could have been there to hear the stories.  When we get home, be sure you’ll hear more.

Check back with us when we can get the final photos online.  Feel free to share the links.  You’ll also notice that you may download the files to your computer if you would like to make photos, etc.

Blessings!
