We had the opportunity to see the museum dedicated to Gutenberg's discovery. Amazing to see the first printed Bible from 1455. Beate and Marlene got the chance to try out a reproduction press!

Vacation in the Netherlands
Well we finally made it to August and are in the Netherlands for the week. We have really loved it here. We rented a cottage near Holten. It has been fun just visiting the local area. One of the great things about travel it discovering new food. We have found some great items that we love.

Ice Cream Specialty!
Well the kids have finished their first year at school here. To celebrate we decided to go out for ice cream. They still have ice cream parlors here. They are mostly run by Italian ex pats here in Germany. They do a great business in the summer.

Happy 4th!!
We all had a great time. Samuel really enjoyed the cotton candy as you can see. The rides were great and we enjoyed watching Germany beat France in the quarterfinals of the World Cup! Go Germany!!
There was a great ferris wheel which gave us a great view of downtown Wiesbaden. The kids thought it was great.
Samuel and his friend Timmy were quite enthusiastic about all the various kinds of candy for sale at the fair. The popcorn that is often sold here is the what we would call kettle corn (sweet). This surprised me the first time I went to the movies here and ordered popcorn. The first bite was shock as I was expecting a salty taste. All in all it was a great 4th of July and we look forward to the next Fair which comes to town this Fall.
