We had breakfast at 6:45 a.m. and went to Mass at 8:00 a.m. at this church.
Um 6.45 Uhr haben wir gefrühstückt und waren dann um 8 Uhr in der Kirche.
I took this picture after the people had left.
Die Kirche habe ich fotografiert, nachdem die Leute weg waren.
Then we drove on to find Miriam, who had gone to church to the vigil Mass the day before.
Dann ging es weiter zu Miriam, die schon am Tag davor bei der Vorabendmesse gewesen war.
We got some coffee at this café before finding her.
Hier haben wir Kaffee gekauft, bevor wir sie getroffen haben.
Moving out
Auszug
We had met Miriam's roommate Nancy the day before, but she was already on her way home to Ohio when we arrived after church on Sunday.
Wir hatten Miriams Zimmerkollegin schon am Samstag kennengelernt. Als wir am Sonntag ankamen, war sie schon auf dem Heimweg nach Ohio.
This is the dining-hall where we visited with another of Miriam's professors. He got his undergraduate degree from our college, i.e., the college where Peter and I are teaching. We had a great time together.
Hier in der Mensa haben wir einen weiteren Professor von Miriam kennengelernt, der früher Student bei unserem College war. Wir haben uns sehr nett und sehr lange unterhalten.
Flowers left over from graduation
Blumen, die von der Abschlußfeier übrig waren.
Not a freshman anymore, but a sophomore!
Jetzt hat sie das erste Studienjahr erfolgreich hinter sich gebracht!
After loading the car and saying good-bye to her friends, we all drove back to NY. It is an 8 1/2 hour drive and we arrived shortly before midnight.
Nachdem wir das Auto vollgepackt hatten und Miriam sich von ihren Freundinnen verabschiedet hatte, ging es wieder nach New York. Man fährt ca. 8 1/2 Stunden und wir waren kurz vor Mitternacht zu Hause.
Crossing the Hudson again
Wir fahren wieder über den Hudson.
We then took the northern route (because it is easier to drive there in the dark), along the Mohawk River.
Wir sind dann die nördliche Strecke gefahren (man fährt da im Dunkeln besser), die am Mohawk Fluß entlang geht.

Glad you had a fun visit, and the church is lovely (so pretty with the white walls and vaulted white ceiling). Miriam is a sophomore! These college years are going by quickly for us older folks. It didn't feel that way when I was young, thank goodness :)
ReplyDeleteIt was so good to meet some of her friends and professors :). It was a pretty church. Peter had picked it for Sunday Mass. Yes, time goes by so fast. Charlotte is done with her degree, Miriam is a Sophomore, Veronika is almost done with her grade 11, Jonathan is half-way done with his dual degree, and Flora will be in 8th grade! No, when you are young, life seems to be never-ending!
DeleteSuch wonderful accomplishments! Yes, life did feel never-ending then :)
DeleteAnd now we get nostalgic thinking about that.
