Woke up this morning and Rita's voice was just a whisper. But other than no voice she felt fine. Packed and headed for the train station and our 1 1/2 hour trip to Kassel.
We are traveling on Germany's high speed train system called ICE which travel at speeds in excess of 300 km per hour. Rita has really figured out the best way to travel by train in Germany. She purchases the cheapest tickets and then we go and sit in the restaurant car for the duration of the trip. Better seating, more space plus breakfast and cheaper than travelling first class. Rita was in heaven as we had a traditional German breakfast of bread, salami and cheese.
Very emotional reunion with Rita's parents (Franz and Evelyn). Went to the local Chinese restaurant for dinner. Very good food but Rita and I had to ask for chop sticks as Germans use a knife and fork. Very strange as noodles are eaten like spagetti.
