Hello again, I’m writing this from IRELAND!!!!!! But first, I’ll back up to where I left you in my last BIT…
Dad took me to the castle or old palace, of the old Kingdom of Württemberg in Stuttgart for my birthday.
It has since been turned into a museum, and they have the crown jewels, much of the treasures and collections of the King, and some other interesting artifacts from around the globe!
I had a great time, and if you ever get a chance to go to Stuttgart you’ve got to take the time to go through the castle for yourself.
After that we returned to the house. Tami had prepared a great meal and a BIG chocolate cake, with real whipped cream in the middle for my birthday! It was delicious and really nice of her! THANKS Tami!
The next day I played all day at one of the local U.S. bases. It was a great day, and I made some new connections… but man were my fingers soar afterwards. 🙂 The next day… on Sunday, I played another concert at IBC in Stuttgart.
A few days later My friends, Siegfried & Leslie Schreiber had us over for a really nice time at their home and I played a special concert for them and their guests. Siggi and I also had a blast playing some of the songs that we played for the kids at the AWANA meetings at IBC too!
The next day Shawn & Tami took us to a Blue Man concert in Stuttgart which Shawn had set up for the kids at the school he teaches at. It was quite a spectacle and the kids loved it! After the concert, when we were walking in the parking garage, dad got a few pictures of their son Caleb and I having some fun.
On May 30th Dad and I headed out of Stuttgart by train to get to the Airport in Frankfurt. After a bit of a delay from a large storm we arrived in Dublin, Ireland! Mom also flew in to the same airport and together we went to Arklow for a few days.
Last Sunday morning I played at Redcross Church. And made some more friends there. It’s a small church in the country side and the ride to and from there is just beautiful!
When we returned to Arklow and we went to an International Food and Cultural Fair. There was quite a few activities, and there was so many food booths that even I wasn’t able to try everything there! What I had was quite good, especially the Irish stew.
While we were there, we had the opportunity to meet the Minister of the Embassy of India to Ireland, Mr. Mahesh C. Naithani and his wife, Mrs. Vijay Naithani.
Yesterday we moved to the town of Avoca to stay for a few days. We have been blessed with sunny days everyday since we’ve been here… quite a blessing here in Ireland! We’ll see where God leads us from here on the Emerald Isle.
Have a great day!
