5th day in Germany

1731 pipe organ

Today we went on a couple of walks — one to a nearby park and lake, and the other was just in the neighbourhood to watch the boys ride their bikes and to check in on their hens.

The photo above was taken on Friday. My daughter has some connections in the music community and made arrangements for me to play two of the local pipe organs. This pipe organ, built in 1731 and most recently renovated in 1984 was a true delight to play.

When I am playing the organ my mind can wander all over the place. I forget about the concerns of the day and get lost in the music of Bach and other composers. JS Bach died in 1750, almost 20 years after this organ was installed. He wrote for organs just like this one!

Whether it’s playing children’s Yahtzee or building Lego firetrucks with my grandsons, exploring local pipe organs, or long walks, I will leave Germany with some fond memories.
