I thought I had seen most that there was to see in Central Europe in terms of natural beauty, but it turns out that I missed a spot not far from Matthias' parents. This week, Matthias' father took us to the Elbesandgebirge (Elbe (river) Sandstone Mountains) for a three-dayhiking holiday in these beautiful hills not far from
Dresden and the Czech border. The mountain scenery was awesome, and now after all that biking, I was just about able to keep up with the guys. We spent a couple days hiking (or wandering, as they say in Germany) along some great trails, took a ride over to the Czech Republic to take a walk and boat trip through a pretty gorge, and stopped in Dresden on the way back to visit the newly (re)completed church. Not that Matthias and I needed to get away or anything, but it was a wonderful trip. Now we're back in Gommern ready to catch up with folks.
