I slept in super late, after waking briefly around 9 a.m. and then dozing off again. The sun was shining most of the day and it warmed up nicely in the afternoon. Martin and I completely cleaned out his room in preparation for Anders to start the re-decorating work. I went to the grocery store, did a load of laundry and baked &#038; decorated a cake. Tomorrow is a crazy day: I&#8217;m sure work will be frantic and stressful, though I hope it&#8217;s not too bad. Plus, tomorrow is a big birthday day for <a href=\"http:\/\/karinek.livejournal.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">someone<\/a> and we have all of Anders&#8217; family coming over for dinner, AND we have to take a car in for windshield replacement in the morning. Eek! Everything at once, isn&#8217;t that always the way of it? Good thing I have such great memories of my vacation to keep me grounded.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lizardek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/190418_original.jpg\" width=500 border=0 height=332 title=\"Group shot\"  align=\"Middle\"><br \/>\nGroup shot in Aachen (Clockwise from front: Martin, Becky, Pete, Tim, Nick, Robin, Denise, Kelly, Liz, Anders) <font size=\"-4\">(photo: Karin Ek)<\/font><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lizardek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/189575_original.jpg\" width=500 border=0 height=332 title=\"Aachen Cathedral\"  align=\"Middle\"><br \/>\nAachen Cathedral <font size=\"-4\">(photo: Anders Ek)<\/font><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lizardek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/194066_original.jpg\" width=500 border=0 height=315 title=\"LLG 5\"  align=\"Middle\"><br \/>\nLLG 5: Kelly, Denise, Liz, Becky, Robin <font size=\"-4\">(photo: Anders Ek)<\/font><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lizardek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/192436_original.jpg\" width=500 border=0 height=332 title=\"Schaloen Castle\"  align=\"Middle\"><br \/>\nI could live here!
