Saturday evening we experienced the Stuttgart Ballet. We were overwhelmed with the choreography and athleticism of the cast at they told the story of Shakespeare's 17th Century "Othello". No need to understand the German language, as the cast of twenty-five, along with a live string orchestra, allowed this tragic story to unfold without a word of dialogue.
Sunday morning, we awoke gently to the sounds of scores of birds singing just outside the German built bedroom window we had cracked open the night before. The bedroom was filled with the the sounds of the birds and the freshness of the morning air that had seeped through the cracked window overnight. The birds sang for quite some time, before stopping suddenly, giving way to the rising sun and the overtaking daylight.
This 2nd Sunday in May has not escaped the Germans, as they too celebrate the wonderful and dedicated women we know as mothers. We leave this evening for a three-day visit to the German capital, Berlin.
