There is an expression when it comes to Germans and it goes something like this- "it is very difficult to make a German friend, but once you have a German friend you have a friend for life." I find this expression to be 100 % true- it is extremely difficult to make a German friend but the ones we have are great friends. A few weeks ago we headed to to L's home town to visit his mom and made a day trip to Heidelberg, where L went to University and where several of his high school and Uni friends still live. I am always so touched at how they all gather at such short notice to see us. We had a lovely barbecue and enjoyed catching up. It was especially nice to see how well B and F did with their German language. It's truly a group where despite time and distance we are always welcomed. On top of catching up with dear, old friends we rode many trains to- long trips from Berlin to Pforzheim and the shorter trip from Pforzheim to Heidelberg, visited the public pool and enjoyed taking a walk down memory lane looking at Omi's photo albums and just chilling in her cozy apartment.
