Enjoying time with the Sasse family at their home near Hannover, Germany. We had a fun day in Hamburg where they shared sights and stories that made the history of the city come to life. In the sketch below, you can get a better idea of what the harbor area looked like when it was first built. 

In their village of Burgwedel, I learned about grocery carts with scanners and a dairy farm with its own vending machine. 

Today, we got lucky with another sunny day for a visit to Hannover. We found the oldest building in Hannover, built in 1566, one of the very few that survived the WWII bombings.
