WELCOME TO HANNOVER GERMANY

 WELCOME TO HANNOVER, GERMANY

AN EVENING WITH SOME INCREDIBLE GERMANS

Truly blessed to visit Germany with my Dad's wife Heide.  She is my Step Mother and was born in Germany.  Met up with her two sisters and Siegfried.  We had a great evening eating, drinking and talking about their lives.  Siegfried shared amazing stories about his life in the German Navy and as a prisoner of war after Hitler was defeated.  Helga talked about her mother and the love she shared with her growing up during the war.  I learned so much about Germany, the war, Hitler and just how much people are the same inside no matter what the circumstance.  At the root of all being, we all want happiness, love, food and family.  Does not change anyplace in the world.  Only dictators and governments fuck things up.  People are the same inside.  I have seen this in China, Japan, Indonesia, Egypt, France, Portugal and everywhere else I have traveled.  My advice to any person is to travel the world and spend time with each and every culture that interests you.  No matter where you go, you will see that at the heart and soul all people are equal and the same.  No difference in the world.  Thanks to my German family for sharing their lives with me.  I will never forget their journey and memories.
