Here we are having Sunday dinner at the home of our friends Hugh and Vivien. The people around the table are Pepper, Denise, baby Oliver, Elizabeth, Hugh, Vivien, Jessica, Brad, and Gunther. Hugh and Vivien and their daughter Elizabeth are from South Africa, but they have lived here for about 8 years. Denise is from Canada, but her husband works for the U.S. military, so she is a reluctant American. I just met Gunther yesterday, but I learned that he grew up in East Germany, escaped to West Germany, and spent some time in prison for that. I wish I'd had more time to talk to him, because I felt like I was sitting next to a living bit of history.
We had a lovely afternoon with these people, and the time passed way too quickly!
