Well we made it to Germany. Our plane was very old. As a matter of fact, the armrest on my seat was broken and the flight attendant felt bad so she gave us all those first class goody bags( they contained socks, lotions etc). She also gave us endless supplies of wine- yes even the peons who sit in the back of the plane get free wine on international flights. This is due to the merger with US air. The flight was very uncomfortable. Absolutely no legroom! Anyway, we arrived and walked to the Sheraton airport hotel. We all slept for a few hours (no sleeping on flight)showered and then took a cab to Alstadt. It is the old town. It is filled with sidewalk cafés. We had a nice outdoor lunch of quiche, salads fresh fruit oj and homemade assisted breads. It was very good. Alex was holding out for the Doner kabobs. He had them when he was in Berlin on the Chabab service trip and had been raving about them since. Dusseldorf is beautiful Although I kept thinking about what Germany was like in the 30's and 40's and I am so grateful that a Jewish
Person or anyone for that matter can walk around and feel safe. If only it was like this in everyplace. If Germany can come this far from darkness to light then
Every country can make it happen. Anyway we are off in a few hours to our final destination-Barcelona. Until then. Nance
