Edward opening Birthday presents from the Bentlage’s.  It was Edward’s 2nd birthday at the home of the Bentlage’s - his 49th and 67th birthdays.

Then we visited more with Sven until time to leave for the concert that night.  Sven would be leaving us to travel back Shanghai.  We hope to see him again maybe in Shanghai?

Below is a new one for us.  FRESH EGGS in a vending machine!!!  It was outside of a restaurant in Hiddenhausen.

CONCERT

That evening we went to a concert in Wuppertal.  I was with the Wuppertal School Orchestra combined with the Wuppertal Symphony Orchestra playing excerpts from "West Side Story" by Leonard Bernstein.  The first part was the conductor working with the musicians as in rehearsal for a performance.  (I felt like I was back in school).  This program was to have the music professionals and students side by side in a professional atmosphere in a great concert under the baton of chief conductor, Toshiyuki Kamioka.  It was an interesting concert and we enjoyed it very much. 

Thanks to Ortrun and Horst and friends for a great evening.
