Mischief Makers

The day we went to Speyer was absolutely gorgeous -- the sun was shining, blue skies without a single cloud, and the perfect temperature... something we'd been missing in Germany. 

Besides showing us the beautiful cathedral of Speyer, Annette and Jo had some business to do for the Gothic cathedral near their home in Königslutter.  As tour guides of the newly renovated cathedral there, Annette and Jo were trying to establish relationships with larger cathedrals in Germany and get ideas of how to better publicize the historic landmark.  They had a happen-stance appointment with one of Speyer Cathedral's main public relations personnel which ended up being very beneficial to them.  As a result, there was plenty of time for Mike, Benjamin, and me to ramble about the cathedral grounds.

And they're off!

Silly random boy stuff.  Sometimes they're very easily amused.

Thing 1 and Thing 2.

Unfortunately, the picture of two of these beetles who were "married" (as Benjamin explained to us) didn't turn out.  This one will have to suffice.

As we said, lots of cool things to play on, like this rope Spinne.

Spider attack!

One of them seems to have won, again.

Beautiful picture by the fountain.

Until next time...
