Update...

So we didn't make it to Wiesbaden, which was a bummer. Catherine's back isn't feeling all that great so she is resting up for our tour in France and Aachen. This weekend we have a National show where Catherine, Casey and Natallie are showing. Then Morthen will be coming on Sunday and Monday for a clinic and Tuesday I am off to France. Tuesday morning, bright and early, Maximus, Cadillac and I will be on the road to Lyon. That will be the first leg of our long trip to Cannes. Lyon is about 1000 kilometers from Vechta about a 12 hour drive. In Lyon I will stay overnight and the next day continue to Cannes, which is another 400 kilometers. It will be a long trip but I'm sure well worth it. Cannes is right on the coast and about 40 kilometers from Nice. We have two shows to do in France, right on the coast! How cool is that! A Dressage Arena a few yards from the beach! So we will be there for about two weeks. Can't wait to share those pictures and adventures with everyone! After France, we will be home for a few days and then its off to Aachen!! I cannot wait for Aachen!!

Last week we all took a trip up to the Northern Sea. It was about an hour from our apartment. The town was called Nordeny! It was an adorable little beach town with souvenir shops and Ice Cream Cafes. We packed a picnic and had a nice day at the beach. The beach wasn't exactly like our beaches at home on the East Coast. The water was alot darker, pretty but more green than bright blue. There were some areas that had sand but then there were alot of areas that had concrete. I know it sounds weird, but there were beach chairs (which are more like beach huts) all over the place. During the summer months families rent them out.
