After my chilled out time in Weimar, I couldn't wait to catch up with my new friend, Anne, in her hometown Mackenzell, near Hunfeld.
It was Anne's birthday the day I caught the train from Weimar to Fulda, about 20mins from where she lived. And it was great to see her when I got there. I was a bit worried when she had trouble driving & speaking English, but she soon got the hang of it.
When we got back to her home in this tiny country town, it was filled with people that had come to wish her a happy birthday. I never had any big family gatherings (always wanted to though), & so being a part of this was so pleasantly overwhelming for me.
We ate, ate & ate some more. Anne's Mum is blessed with superior cooking skills.
Anne & I went for a late night walk through the town & out into the (very dark) fields - beautiful. It was just so soothing being back in the country breathing clean air & living the simple life.
