We lived in this village in 1968 while Dad was working on the Autovon Telecom system for the Air Force and Army.

I think this is the street, Am Kindsberg. We were upstairs on the right at the corner.

| Barenloch. Spent some time here. |

Highway 40 looking west. Down that way was Landstuhl.

This is the intersection we turned at to go to our apartment. Across from the yellow house is the street that led up the hill to it. The school bus to K-Town American stopped here in the morning and afternoon. Big Green Army Bus!

Just goofing off and bingo. Flashback. Maybe I should save up and go to Germany and Italy(wife would like that!) For me it is sort of a bucket list thing.
Lokks like a great place for a picnic or just to relax in the pic by the water.
ReplyDeleteYou really SHOULD go, Glenn. I think you might be surprised at all the memories that will come flooding back, stuff you haven't thought of in YEARS.
ReplyDeleteI took The Second Mrs. Pennington to the house I lived in for three years as a child in suburban Paris... which wasn't that much of a trip, since we were stationed in London at the time. I entertained her for hours that evening over a lil too much wine; she just ate it all up and demanded more. But that was when we were still in love. Heh.
Christopher-It was. And renting a row boat was fun. And there was a little store with some of the coolest ice cream treats!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBuck-My Missus is German-Italian. I applied for positions at Spangdahlem, Ramstein, Lakenheath, Mildenhall and Aviano about two plus years ago. Would have been fun.
And to go back to this village would really be something.
