Has a winner of the election been declared yet??? We went for a walk on election eve which was one of the most "normal" experiences we have had in some time. The evening is clear and we started out on some streets in town. A small group in a back yard started singing Amazing Grace accompanied by guitar. They were very good!
Walked past the meat market and bakery. Unusual that they are open in the evening, but each had a customer. (Tonight's walk of four miles took us past three bakeries not including the one in the grocery.)
Then as we walked toward home ten pumpkins were lit in a side yard. We had seen no others in all of Germany up until this moment. Americans had to be near.As we stood there admiring them an elderly woman came out and introduced herself as Analise. Pantomime and broken Eng-Germ ensued with her bringing her son-in--law out. He, being American, could speak English. His wife is a German gal who is a dental assistant. His father just shipped a 55 Chevy over for him to have. Good to talk with someone on the street.
Over the bridge and past the cemetery illuminated with numerous votive candles.
We then walked out into the country admiring the stars, quarter moon and Venus. Fog started to rise. Continuing on to Ebing, listened to church bells, read about St. Jakobus of Ebing and then on to the Plus Grocery store near home for ice cream. Remember we have to eat what we buy tonight as we have no freezer. Went well with raspberries and chocolate. I love Monday walks!
