We are going to Europe tomorrow. Our excuse is that we are going to go to a reunion of Michele’s father’s extended family. Strangely, I think of Michele’s extended family as somehow American because I have only seen them here, here as at our house for dinner or at Tahoe, or Arkansas, or South Carolina. But, most of the cousins are European and while Michele has gone to Reunions in Ireland and The Czech Republic, this will be the first time I will see the family – the German Branch, anyway – in their native habitat.
