Meeting our friends in Aachen

Our friends and former neighbors were taking part in an exchange program with Arlington's German sister city Aachen. After last meeting them in Perugia almost six years ago it was great to see them again. Dan and Nico had arrived five days earlier flying in into Brussels but Sylvia and Luca arrived on Saturday in Frankfurt and we picked them up and drove them to their host family in Aachen. We stayed at a hotel in downtown Aachen and met them at the cathedral on Sunday morning because Sylvia wanted to attend the Palm Sunday Mass at the 1200 year old church which is a UNESCO world heritage site






Mia joined us a bit later after the church service


Unfortunately it was cold and windy but the father of the host family still wanted to give us a guided tour of the city center

Later we met an old friend for a Chinese dinner 


 She walked us back to the city center just a few minuted from our hotel




We also took a picture of Mia by the same fountain on our last trip to Aachen six year ago
