A German Celebration

**cessna152towser** · 17th April 13, 10:18 AM

Earlier this month I was back in Germany for my fiancee's daughter's Confirmation in the Evangelical Church.

The Service took place in this lovely little church at Streitberg in Bavaria.

Here is Martina with a friend outside the Church after her Confirmation.

Martina is growing fast, she is going to be very tall, like her mum.
She's still only thirteen, but already reaches my height when she's wearing her high heels.

We rounded off the day with a nice evening meal in a restaurant at Neunhof, just a little to the north of Nuernberg. Here's Martina with her friend and her mum and her grandmother.

Lovely pics Alex. I love Bavaria. I have been lucky enough to visit a few times. Are you conversant in German or are they kind enough to converse in English? I know they have a particular dialect which to the uninitiated can be sometimes tricky to follow.

Are you conversant in German or are they kind enough to converse in English?

I have started learning a little bit of German but fortunately they are all willing to speak to me in English and all speak reasonably good English.

Great pictures Alex. Did you wear one of your kilts to the Confirmation? Also, what does your fiancee's daughter think of you being kilted most of the time? (Just curious; there's another thread on this form regarding that subject.)

The ladies (mother and daughter) love the kilt.
I wore a kilt every day while in Germany except for the Confirmation as it was Martina's big day and I did not want to divert attention to myself.
