I just love you're newly discovered liberation from fear. I, and many others, need to hear that. I'm a prepper at heart but don't have the means to be self sufficient or off the grid etc. and I worry about that. It's a comforting reminder of Who's really is in charge of my life. My sister did a similar trip you are on to visit our father's birthplace. You a right about the splendid experience you are having EXCEPT it is the opposite experience in Berlin. Dirty from air pollution. She talked like an American and people looked sideways to see if others heard what they were talking about. There's a curfew.

And if you're too loud or your dog is (at night) your neighbor can call the police and you'll be thrown in jail. We see America going down the tubes, but it still is the best country to live in the world. We all need to remember that and do our part to keep it that way. Have a safe and splendid well needed R&R Glenn!

Thank you Jenn! Yes, I definitely prefer the countryside to the big cities. Every culture has its positives and negatives, of course. There are a great many things I love about Germany, but I have not yet met someone who questions what they hear from the media or government. I haven't seen the fire for freedom that is part of the American Soul. I love Germany, but I LOVE America.
