A week ago Nance and I flew to Dusseldorf where I attended Medica - the world's largest medical device trade show. 17 exhibit halls and who knows how many visitors. Some of the larger exhibitors had reception desks with 3 (or more) receptionists, 3 story exhibit booths, private meeting rooms in the booth, and reception lounges on the second or third floor. We stayed on a first class hotel ship in the harbor as there were no hotel rooms available in the city. Nance took in Weinachtsmarkt - the Christmas market and took Flat Stanley along to enjoy the day. I got to spend some time with her there as well. Back home Saturday we went to a Thanksgiving Dinner put on by local missionaries for Chinese students of the university. Nance made traditional dressing after I located dinde (turkey) at a local market. (Whole turkeys must be special ordered - they are not commonly served here.)
Tomorrow - Thursday the 26th is a work day, but I was graciously given the day off. I am taking Nance to Lyon for the day; but instead of a dinner together I have to go to a business board meeting in the evening and then early to a board meeting on Friday. We will still get to enjoy old town Lyon and a beautiful hotel furnished in antiques. We are back home on Saturday to participate in a local food bank drive.
Nancy found a museum with archeological discoveries including a first century baptistry that I want to go see!
"I was born in Dusseldorf and that is why they call me Rolf!" What do the think of 'The Producers' over there???
