Cousin Michael and his family had invited us to stay with them at their home in Rückersbach - a small village in the mountains outside of Aschaffenburg. So after a breakfast in the train station in Heidelberg we took the train to Aschaffenburg.
Mia was delighted to find two cats at their place. Max and Moritz
She also liked the lounging chairs in the garden
We enjoyed the great lunch on a long table in the yard which Maria had cooked. Everything but the meat was from the vegetable yard
Fransiska had some toys for Mia
After lunch we walked to the playground. The 15 minute walk was really beautiful
The playground was next to the former elementary school
After Mia's nap we did one more walk before it turned dark
The day finished with some nice Abendbrot
The next morning Michael dropped us at the airport and after wonderful two weeks in Germany it was back to Washington DC
