For the weekend of the 7th-10th December 2001, we flew to
Germany to visit Jennifer's Grandmother (who was also visiting) and other
relatives who live in
Hüls.
 |
Omi and Jennifer
reunited! |
| Here we are at a Christmas market
in Kempen: Erika,
Elisabeth, Jennifer, David, and Peter. |
 |
 |
The geese that live at Hubertushof.
They are vicious attack
geese. |

chicken coop. |
 |
 |
The chickens are very well
fed. |
| Francisca and Oskar, the
sheep. |
 |
 |
Baaaaaah! |

Hubertushof. |

A tiny (and blurry)
robin. |
| Hubertushof: Jennifer's great
grandparents were the
first of the family to live there. Trudi now lives in this
house. |
 |
 |
Another view of the
house. |
| The beautiful wreath Trudi
made. |
 |

Omi and Jennifer walking in the
Hülser Berg. |
| Funky chickens. |

| The people of Hüls were all
aflutter because a
stork had come into the town and was hanging around in this field off
the Steeger Dyk. |
 |
 |
Another view of the stork.
Coincidently, Trudi's son's
wife had just had a baby... |
| Unfortunately, we couldn't get too
close to the stork
for a better picture. |
 |
 |
The stork is flying away here.
Trust me. |

More of the resident wildlife of
Hubertushof. |
| Jennifer with 'Die Frauen von
Jakob'. Jakob is the male peacock
and these are his two wives. Please note that Jennifer is not one of
Jakob's wives. |

Tragically, at this point the batteries in our camera
died. We continued to have a wonderful weekend though.
