In Bremen


The hotel in Bremen was expecting Winslow and he knew just what to do! We have been so surprised and delighted that every hotel we've encountered accepts and even welcomes the dog.

Which reminds me of a quote from Mahatma Gandhi. . .
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."

Read that again. . .
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."


When we arrived in Bremen it was almost dark. This is a large park right downtown. The canal had a layer of ice and the old large windmill at the end is now a restaurant.

The next day while Jim was busy meeting, I did some shopping. I know this is random, but in one of the stores, I was shocked to see this t-shirt! It even has the official ΣΚ crest. After seeing this one, I went in search of another t-shirt with another Greek organization, but there weren't any! Not sure what's up with that.

As with most cities in Europe, there is a beautiful church in the center of town. This one is no exception and is called St. Peter's Cathedral.

The Town Hall and statue of Roland - known as the city's protector - erected in the 1400's.

More to come on Bremen . . .
