A successful show! Now off to Berlin, Germany…
The show at St. John the Divine was a huge success. Over 1,000 people attended and gave us a standing ovation at the end. There were wonderful reactions and very moving reactions. In slightly more than one week, we leave for Berlin. If we can easily find access to a computer, maybe at an internet cafe, we will post updates here. If not, we will post photos and many stories once we return. Our trip is all planned with room for plenty of random and “spur of the moment” adventures. I didn’t want to plan every minute, because I want to be open to spontaneity. It’s always good to live in the moment as much as possible. One of our definite plans is to go to The Black Forest, the setting for lots of fairy tales (I’ve been warned not to eat any candy houses in the forest.) and to Neuschwanstein Castle. This castle was only one of many fantasy castles built by King Ludwig II, a very interesting character. I love history and architecture and am very much looking forward to going there. We will stay in the village of Schwangau. Then we go where the wind blows until we make our way to Fahy, Switzerland and our house concert - another exciting event. Hopefully, we will do some busking along the way and the way back up to Berlin. Having made my living for a while busking in the US, I have always wanted to do it abroad. Now I will finally have my chance. We are bringing the limberjack along in our suitcase. He should be a big hit in Europe!
