Nurse Jordan

Nurse Jordan is in Europe! So the blog will become a travelogue. This is David and I just after arriving, having a good coffee in the airport, and waiting for our hostess to pick us up. Last night we got on a plane in New York about 8:30 PM, and took a sleeping pill. Ah, the wonders of modern medicine, or "better living through chemistry" as my mother said. We got some sleep on the plane, and it really helped with the jet lag. We got a really good coffee in the airport, and then Elizabeth picked us up.

After lunch we took a long walk through Wiesbaden, the Waermer Domm Park, and

the Kur Park. We rested in a bakery, and had a coffee and pastry in their outside garden. Then we continued our walk. The cathedral here, the Marktkirche, started ringing the bells with wild abandon, and we walked over to see what was happening. Friday night was a celebration of all the churches, and this church had opened up the tower, so we climbed the 180 steps to the first parapet. From the parapet, we could see John and Elizabeth's apartment on the other side of the plaza, as well as two of the five towers of the church.

David relaxed on the window sill after we got back, while Elizabeth cooked us dinner. It was a wonderful first day in Germany!
