I knew I'd been to Freiburg before...
The movers left around 3:45. They really got a lot done today. The downstairs, basement, attic and garage are mostly packed. Tomorrow should go well too -- as long as I can get a ton of work done tonight.
Sorting through my books, I ran across my diary/travelog from my church youth choir trip from 1984. I was in the youth choir of the First Baptist Church in Athens, Georgia, and we took a trip to Europe that summer. Thank goodness the itinerary is in the book. I remembered a very nice hotel we stayed at -- and I thought it was in Freiburg -- and sure enough, it is. I didn't recognize one single thing when we were in Freiburg last weekend, though, so I thought maybe I'd misremembered it.
Anyway this journal has me laughing aloud at my fifteen-year-old self. There are a lot of entries that go something like this:
June 11, 1984. We are FLYing! We took off at about 6:20 pm. It's okay. We're sitting in a row of 5. Margaret R, me, Phil, Doug, and Kathy H. We've only been flying 10 or 15 minutes. Doug's very Hyper. But it seems like it's going to be an okay flight. Supper's supposed to be later. I'll write more when there's more to tell. (My suitcase weighs 55 lbs!!!)
Later (11:35). We just saw the movie - GORKY PARK. Phil was feeling bad and the stewardess gave him some medicine to take called VOMEX. For supper we had Roladens!
June 20, 1984. We went to Florence and went sightseeing. Then we went shopping. I saw Michelangelo's "David." I bought a bunch of stuff.
June 26, 1984. Today we drove to the border between East & West Germany. It's bad.
The funniest thing about this journal is that it sounds just like Gracie's.
