Hollisters Christmas in Bavaria - December, 2006
Colin was in his first year teaching at Munich International School in Starnberg. Mary Seppala got us a home in Gauting. The trip was on. With no snow on the ground or in the forecast, we left our skis at home. Everyone left me behind in coach to fly first class. We left JFK on Christmas Eve and toasted Christmas in the Hofbrau Haus.
