Görlitz

Another sunny day! In fact, it was downright hot! We arrived in Gorlitz this afternoon, greeted with kisses at the train station by my aunt Bërbel and my uncle Dieter. They whisked us off to our hotel, with a little detour due to many blocked streets in the old part of town where our hotel is. While it's lovely to be able to walk around town with out many cars, it must be very difficult to drive here!

They helped us settle in to our amazing hotel. The location is fantastic: right on the Untermarkt, and next door to the building where my great grand parents had their bakery! We spent the afternoon exploring the area just around our hotel: enjoying a Bockwurst, dipping our fingers and toes in fountains, and playing on the crazy rock swing at the closest playground.
