Travelog post for: Graham

On my last day over here my host mummy showed me the place she lives. Actually this place (Homberg) is small - just around 5,000 people live here. It's surrounded by fields.

First we had to walk a hill up. It was hard as I wasn't used to it until now. There we saw a man made of stone sitting a around and drinking something like a beer. Nat told me, that he's called Leo and the artist, who made this figure, lives in the house next door. Nevertheless I had to talk a picture with it.


Then we went until the end of the hill and I saw a church. Nat explained that it's the catholic one and the oldest in Ratingen. Unbelievable. But it should be older than 1,000 years. Can you imagine it? It doesn't look like that.


We turned around and I had a look down at the hill we just went. It really looks like a typical village and I really love these old frame houses my host is also living in (even if you don't see it anymore)


Afterwards she showed me the other church in the village. This one is just about turning 100 years upcoming year. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a picture having it in the background as there were soooooo many people who just came out.
In the afternoon we went to a birthdayparty where lots of mentally handicapped people were around. Unfortunately my mummy wasn't really allowed to take pictures so I'm happy I got this one with the cake.


In the evening I already had to go into the envelope as I'm going to the Netherlands right now. I had to go into it so early as it was the first thing to do the next morning. Right before going to university. But I was happy to be with her and maybe I will return for a longer period again.




Goodbye and read you out of the Netherlands
