This was 2013. We met our bloggy-friend Grace (who sadly stopped blogging) for the first time for real.
She came to our Caravan Park, picked us up and took us to The Indiana, saying she invited another bloggy friend, too, you´ll meet her tomorrow.
It certainly is our Monday Mural Host, Sami.
Grace: She lived in Germany once, too.
Me: Oh, where?
Sami: Small town...
Me: Try me.
Sami: Braunschweig.
Me: SMALL town?!
Wiki: "Braunschweig is considered a metropolis and a regiopolis."
And also: "The city consists of 37.5% immigrants (approximately 102,000) with a high amount of migrants coming from other European countries, Asia and Africa."
It´s a small world! Her Hubby and later I worked for Siemens mobility Braunschweig!
And soon we´ll be back in Perth and sure will visit Cottesloe for Sculpture by the Sea, yippeeeeeee ....
"Germany to scare: 30 ruins of days long gone
Military site, Wünsdorf, Brandenburg
The former military base in this garrison town was abandoned in 1994 when the Soviets withdrew their troops following German reunification (although a Lenin statue still stands there). Once known as the "Forbidden City," Wünsdorf was previously used as an imperial military training area and by the Wehrmacht during the Third Reich.
The complex, with its bunkers and officers' house, can now be explored on a guided tour. Or you can follow the circular hiking trail that runs directly past the site."

...Iris, how I miss Grace, I hope that she is well. And I wish you well in the new week.
Sami met with Grace, she is fine and I sure hope to meet her then, too!
Thank you, Tom, to a great Sunday and week ahead.
My little brother went to Braunswick to learn German.
lovely beach. sad when blog friends leave over the years
Oooh, lovely beach. Wish I could tag along
Good choice!
Yes! But then, a hobby should be fun...
It is indeed, I so look forward to it!
Ooh, back to Perth! It seems like just a few months ago that you were there! I can feel your excitement, and I remember that cool hotel too.
I can feel your excitement :)
All the best Jan
Time sure does fly. BTP (back to Perth). You are already excited!
You remember the Indiana? Wow! (It´s a tea house, though).
Yes, it is so wonderful, also to escape winter! Meeting hopefully friends again...
BTP is a great idea! Yes, with the summer we not really had and the weather cooling down, BTP is something to look forward to, I hope for 40+C!
I remember Grace, I hope she is ok these days
Dear friend Iris, your photos are beautiful! I will take a look at the video as well! Thank you so much for sharing! Warm hugs and much love to you from Montreal!
I know you must be so eager to return. Will that be a problem with your new job or does it really begin after your trip?
We have a state of Indiana. My dad lived on boarder of Michingan, Indiana, and Illnois.
I hope so, too.
Dear friend Linda, thank you, it is a wonderful place indeed.Warm hugs and love to you from rainy Braunschweig (ohhhh, I can hear the rain, what a great way to start the week!).
After the trip - if I manage everything OK, I have no guarantee....
I must admit, I have not really in mind where in your huge country that is....
Cottesloe looks beautiful, I'd like to see it for real one day.
It´s right near Freo! When you come from Perth you drive right by! Next time you visit your Brother, just hop off there. There are free CAT-busses to the beach, too!
I think I might do that, once I no longer have the cat. She is old, but cats live a looooong time.
River... ! You ...oh... you are right, but ohhh. Yes, and that is why we will not have a cat. As lovely as they might be...
