From Brussels, I traveled to Wiesbaden, Germany, where a college friend, Doro, and her new husband live. I met Doro when she was on an exchange program from Karlsruhe to Greeley, Colorado. She was active in Chi Alpha, a Christian group on campus, and that is where we met. Doro is an English teacher and her English is fantastic. Jonathan, a college friend, and I visited her back in 2004 when we did a 6-week trip to Europe. Doro recently got married to Nasser, who is from Morocco. It was good to have Nasser there because I could also speak French with him. This was my second time in Germany on this trip, so my first time was to get into German and now I should be able to speak German well. Na ja. Mein Deutsch ... ist nicht total schlecht, aber nicht wunderbar.
I spent two nights with Doro and Nasser. Since Doro had the summer off, which is a great teacher perk, she took me around Wiesbaden. Wiesbaden is the capital of Hessen and is within 30 minutes of Frankfurt. It's a quaint city and even has a market. Doro just loved the market and especially liked the fresh olives and other fruit and vegetables that one can buy there. The time with Doro and Nasser was mainly a time of catching up. I think we ended up staying at home both nights and watching movies (in German). They took great care of me and Doro even packed me a few sandwiches for my flight back to Kenya. Danke fuer alles, Doro und Nasser!!
