We changed and freshened up from our long drive and drove in to Essen to meet Akayleia Frehner (Potter) and her two boys Presley and Milo. Since we got in to town late we missed seeing the manor house that Akayleia recommended so we just met up and went to dinner. Naomi and Presley played and chatted like old pals and we had a great time catching up with Akayleia. And we wished she would have been with us for the last 3 months, she spoke perfect German! It was so easy to order with her as our translator. Dinner was delicious Italian and for dessert we had ice cream. It was getting late so we had to say good bye, but it was so much fun to see her and her family!
Akayleia, Milo, Presley, Me, Fiona and Naomi. Naomi had just spilled raspberry sorbet on her shirt for the 2nd time within 2 minutes of the first spill. I thought this shirt was a gonner but we got the stain out no problem thanks to fels-naptha soap. Actually, we sorta forgot about the wet shirt with soap on it, wadded in a plastic baggie until a day or two after being home. I opened the bag and the stain was gone!
Crazy, cute kids! Presley was hilarious! I wished we lived by them the whole time we were in Germany.
As we drove through Essen we thought we should've planned to stay there longer because it was the most peaceful, tree-lined town with tons of shady paths to walk. If we ever get back to Germany we'll have to go to Essen for longer than a few hours.
The next morning we headed out to Amsterdam for our final destination before heading back home.
