I am a Hamburger

Hello My Dear Great Ones,
Hamburg will always be dear to my heart since it is the city of my birth.  It also contains some great people who I always love to see.  Celia and I were in Hamburg for a few days after our time in Heidelberg.  Even though the weather was rather wet and cold it did not dampen our joy in being there.

 On the train ride up to Hamburg I sat beside someone who was very interested in what I was reading.

 Hamburg Hauptbahnhof (Main Train Station).  A very busy place.

Some Hamburg landmarks include:  Hamburg Hauptbahnhof...

 Michel Church....

 City Hall (Rathaus).

This house was in my mother's side of the family for 104 years!

 Statue of Martin Luther.

  Hamburg has some culture.  We checked out the Kunsthalle and were impressed.

The Kunsthalle itself is a work of art.  Seemingly endless hallway with hundreds of rooms.

 Here are some samples of the artwork that we saw...

The food in Hamburg is great.  Well the food all over Germany is great.  Here is a small sample of what we enjoyed...

 Of course the best part of Hamburg are the great people.  Here is Tante Doerte, Onkle Hermann, Little Luka, and cousin Maren.

Here I am presenting some wine to my excellent God Mother Ingrid.

Hamburg!  A wonderful place.

Have a great week!  

Love adios and ping on!

Dirk
