Well, I'm having some success with internet today, but encountering some problems as well. I got five of the pictures to load, and the rest don't want to cooperate. So, let's see what happens. Let me share these five and I'll try to find access tonight in Espelkamp. This first pictures shows a monument at the Buchenwald Memorial, which is a beautiful and moving tribute to the atrocities that were committed here. Some 50,000 men, women, and children died here under unbelievable conditions. The memorial monument tower itself strikes a beautiful pose in the second picture. Among the names listed in a mass grave I found one American, Philip Hammens, and can't help but wonder what his story was. We spent a lot more time here than we had planned, but no regrets.
We stopped for the evening in Goslar, which happens to be the town where our dear brother-in-law grew up until they left for America. I'll have more pictures soon in the daytime, but it is a gorgeous city by night as well. The next pictures shows one of the buildings on the Market Square and the last is our hotel, The Goldene Krone. We actually got about 9 hours sleep last night and it was precious!
Sorry for the lack of picture cooperation, but we'll get you caught up.
