North to Detmold...........


Wednesday October 5, 2011


We left Peter’s house this morning about 10 AM and were headed north to visit two of his sons.  Our first stop was to see Bastian, who lives and works in Monheim, which is a suburb of Düselldorf.  Bastian runs a Paintball Hall in Monheim.  Upon our arrival, Bastian explained many aspects of paintball and gave us a tour of the paintball hall  The entire place was quite interesting, as I had no concept what paintball was all about.  After our “tour” we had some coffee and were on our way north to Peter’s other son, Bjorn and his family, who live in Detmold, Germany.  We arrived in Detmold about 4 PM and were greeted by Bjorn’s wife.  We relaxed and chatted a bit before Bjorn arrived home a short time later.  Peter, Bjorn, Bjorn’s 2 year old son and me took  a short walk through the town of Detmold.  Bjorn gave a very good historic tour of the town, churches, monuments, etc. 

We returned “home” for a very nice dinner and spent the rest of the evening talking and discussing politics, computers, and the world.  It was a great day, getting to see two of Peter’s sons and continuing to see more of Germany and the various parts of the countryside.
