Oh what a night! After a day of touring, a lengthy bus ride, and multiple stops to drop off fellow travelers at their assigned destinations around Oberammergau, we arrived at our lodgings for the next two nights, Gasthaus Fischer am See.
Within moments of our arrival a very familiar face appeared at the door. Gerhard, a friend since childhood had been waiting with his family. With just minutes to meet Dorothee, and four year old twins Emil and Linde, a waitress from the restaurant across the street beckoned us to follow. She lead us to my uncle (my mother's brother) and my aunt.
Because the hour was late Dorothee soon left with the children, but Peter and fellow traveler Fr. Andre joined us for dinner.
Magical hours of reminiscing and catching up ended much too soon. With invitations to meet again one day we parted company happy for this opportunity to spend some valuable time in each other's company.
