As mentioned at the beginning, Björn's parents asked us over our final night in Germany. This is why we travel, to find amazing people everywhere on the globe.

Canals can be found around the city, sprouting from major thoroughfares.https://stevemartaindale.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/lc3bcbeck-trail.jpgLübeck trailWe walked quite a ways down the beach, climbing over or under the occasional fallen tree, and finally scampered up the cliff to get to the trail for our return. It was difficult to get this photo because there was normally so many people on it. Walkers, bikers and an occasional runner of all ages were taking part in a spring outing.https://stevemartaindale.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/baltic-shore.jpgBaltic shoreLübeck lies on the western shores of the Baltic Sea northeast of Hamburg. A train ride to the end of the line took us there. It's quite the happening place on this Sunday afternoon, but there were plenty of ... uh, I'm not sure what to call these ... available. Inside each, uh, box was folding chairs. They stretched quite a ways down the beach and many of them were being used. This little neck of the Baltic is somewhat out of the way for most heavy seagoing traffic. In fact, we saw only one cargo ship. But sailboats kept the waters occupied.https://stevemartaindale.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/future-ordering-info-poznan.jpgFuture ordering info - PoznanThere are many ways to get around a language barrier. After arriving in Poznań, I went with Dan and Björn in search of perogies and local beer. I selected this beer from a photo on the menu. (I prefer stouts and they're not as easily found.) I liked it just fine, noticed the beer's name was on the glass (which was fairly common, by the way), and decided I would like it again at dinner with the gang. Our waitress that evening was taking orders and five of the eight did not speak Polish. I showed her this photo on my phone, she nodded and I felt like a genius.https://stevemartaindale.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/life-enhancing-art.jpgLife enhancing artLife enhancing art!https://stevemartaindale.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/life-imitating-art.jpgLife imitating artHmmm, life imitating art?https://stevemartaindale.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/mount-rushmore-reunion.jpgMount Rushmore reunionWandering the brick streets of Poznań with former co-workers at Mount Rushmore National Memorial.

It's a small, outdoor site that had just opened for the season. Kids and dogs ran all around the place. Dogs, by the way, get a lot of respect in Germany.
