Pictures

Ben and his parents with their friends and then Iris and Heather
Here are some pictures from the past couple days. We went to two Fasching parades the first one is here << and the second one is down farther. We also went on a few walks so there are the pictures from that as well. During our walk we ran into some old WWII bunkers. The first one that is small in the middle of the field is a Wasserspeicher which is a water bunker. The big ones are for food storage. You can't go in them but one had a door that was open. But we still peaked our heads in. The hole is for a soldier to shoot anyone that came in that wasn't friendly. You had to walk to the end of the hall and then go left or right to get into the bunker so it was a way of protection.

Church we passed after on of the parades
