Two of the Amish girls and Horning girls exchanged clothes and coverings for the evening meal.
This was the night Turkiye beat Croatia in the Euro 2008 quarterfinals; our hotel was in the same square as a bar filled to overflowing with Turkey fans
Turkiye! The fans celebrated the win by driving around the square (this was about midnight) for a full half hour holding down their horns continuously and screaming at the top of their lungs. Crazy Europeans.

Hello Hans!
your pictures are awesome, the LORD has really gifted you! 5 Years of my life I used to be in Oberammergau and saw the same places on your photos, I even ate at the same restaurant
I wish you the Best and Gods Blessings!

Thanks for your kind words, Carolin. Where are you living now? My dad is leading three tours to Europe in 2010 for the Oberammergau Passion Play.
