Last dawn from Germany
I am sitting in the airport in Houston, waiting for my flight to Albuquerque. The flight is delayed.

Speaking of Karlsberg beer, the Karlsberg Brewery is in Homberg.
Under the ruins of the castle on the hill above Homberg is a sand mine.
With hard hats on our heads, we descended into the sand mines. In Italy truant children were turned into donkies and sent to work in the salt mines. I wonder if truant children were sent to work in the sand mines in Homberg.
Homberg residents took refuge in the sand minds during bombing raids on homberg in WWII.
Atlas purrfurs the yarn mine. Sand mines are for other purposes in the cat world. Photo by Tristan.
Lots of low ceilings. The tunnels were much darker than in the photos.

Moloney’s Irish Pub & Grill has trivia every Thursday night. My daughter’s team was in first place going into last night’s round.
The pub has dollar bills hanging from the ceiling.
The field was plowed yesterday while we were in Frankenstein.
After trying to photograph more birds, Freyja and I explored a new trail.
