The drive to Dresden. We have been in three states/provinces so far. Berlin. Brandenberg (capital Potsdam) Saxony (capital Dresden)

Very “bluffy” landscape. Some open areas but lots of trees with a few lakes. Alfalfa plants with some sunflowers with maybe canola.

We left Berlin in rain, but the drive has given us clear sunny skies. We have been blessed with good weather so far.

When the director, Baete, asks us ya, we are to answer with a soft yaya in return for a yes ; if we put an emphasis on the second ya, it means up yours. 🥴. Inflection is important in German.

Dresden. A lot of it was decimated in 1945 by incendiary bombs. Most of it has been reconstructed. The soviets wanted some done immediately after the war and some didn’t happen until after the wall came down.

The wine in this area was so sour it was called 3 Men Wine as it took 1 to drink a glass and 2 to hold him down to finish it. Global warming has fixed the problem as more sun is occurring now.

There was a major bridge in Dresden that just fell down on Sept 11 of this year. The police heard a noise and watched it literally fall down at 3 in the morning. It makes for terrible traffic jams and terrible tourism.

Supper tonight was a German buffet. So good!
