Visiting Petra and Family, Sven's parents, and Melitta
July 1-3, 2011

On a spontenous idea I decided to drive to visit Petra and Wolfgang in Porta Westfalca. We hadn't seen each other in forever and as luck would have it, I picked a good weekend... they were available and I could come! Short before arriving, I heard in the radio about a huge fire near their home. I managed to catch the following images of it: |

as seen from the highway.... |
... and at their front door |
|
and their back door |

Unfortunately the weather was cold and windy during the whole time, keeping us indoors instead of going for a walk. On Sunday it was sooooo cold (11°C), that we actually lit up the fireplace! |
|
|
Petra busy as always..... |
|
her comfy kitchen! |
...and dining area. |
|
On Saturday evening I managed to hop over to near-by Minden, only a 15 minute drive, and finally visit Sven's parents, Lutz and Ingrid! |
|
|
|
I didn't take any pictures except this one, which turned out great. The visit was much fun! Lutz and Ingrid are nice folk... I like them!
|
|
On Sunday Petra and Wolfgang's son, Robert, showed up for a visit. It was also great getting a chance to see him again. Since he lives in Innsbruck, Austria, we don't get to visit often. |

|
I'm so glad I got the idea to visit.... sometimes the short-notice ideas are the best! |
|
|
On Sunday I drove a detour via Herzberg to meet up with Regina and Sven at Melitta's in Herzberg. Another nice, but much too short, visit..... |
