Sunday/Sonntag

We celebrated Mass at Magdalen with the professors and students.
In der Kirche von Magdalen College haben wir mit Professoren und Studenten am Sonntag die heilige Messe gefeiert.

Then we had to pack Miriam's things and say many good-byes to students and professors.
Dann mußten wir Miriams Sachen ins Auto laden und Abschied von Professoren und Kommilitonen nehmen.





Around 5 p.m., we approached Boston.
Gegen 17.00 Uhr waren wir dann bei Boston.



Cambridge

You cannot simply park on campus, but have to get a parking permit in a parking garage online before you arrive.
Man kann nicht einfach auf dem Campus parken, sondern man muß vorher einen Parkschein beantragen, um dann in einem Parkhaus parken zu dürfen.

Anscheinend ist hier die Computertomographie entdeckt worden.

This is Miriam's stuff and now we have to add Jonathan's.
Hier sieht man Miriams Habseligkeiten und jetzt müssen da noch Jonathans dazu.

Somehow we managed to squeeze everything inside.
Irgendwie hat dann doch alles gepaßt.

Jonathan gave us a quick tour of the law school.
Jonathan hat uns noch kurz die juristische Fakultät gezeigt.

Different view of next semester's dorm: There are a white and a red horse-chestnut tree in front, which are blooming right now.
Andere Ansicht des Wohnheims für das nächste Semester: Dort stehen ein weißer und ein roter Kastanienbaum davor, die gerade wunderschön blühen.



I think this is the gym.

We had a long drive home and arrived shortly after 2:00 a.m.  We are still recovering and are trying to put away all the things Miriam and Jonathan brought home.

Wir sind lange gefahren, bis wir wieder zu Hause waren: Es war kurz nach 2 Uhr morgens, als wir angekommen sind.  Wir erholen uns immer noch und versuchen, einen Platz für die Sachen von Jonathan und Miriam zu finden.

  1. Mal wieder tolle Bilder. Und mein Mann nennt das Packen immer "Tetris spielen". ;)

    1. Ha, ha, guter Witz! Wir haben immer zu wenig Platz: im Auto und im Haus!

    1. I am trying, but on Monday, we first had to return the rental car, then we had to drive to pick up Leo (both are trips in different directions of 45 minutes each way), and then I drove the girls to ballet and back. Today was a trip up to Buffalo which is also very far. Tomorrow and Friday is ballet. Saturday, Jonathan will leave already for his summer job in NYC and we have to drive him to the rental car place. It never seems to stop.

    2. Holding you in prayer this week and asking Mama Mary to wrap you in her mantle xxx

    3. Thanks so much, San. Right now I am doing tons of laundry and am trying to get things organized so Jonathan can leave on Saturday. At least the living-room floor is more or less clear again. But upstairs looks horrible!

    4. Keeping the prayers going at this end 🙂. I’m doing the 33 days to Morning Glory Marian Consecration via the Hallow App 🩷. This app has been a wonderful help since being sick with Covid xx

    5. Thanks so much, San. I am pretty sure they helped because I put away most things and did a lot of laundry. Jonathan arrived safely in NYC. Now we can concentrate on finishing the school year strong, doing house and garden projects, have a good ballet recital in a few weeks, and make decisions about Miriam's future. Hopefully we can also catch up on sleep.

      I have heard of that app. Maybe I should investigate it, although I do not use my phone much, only when I travel.

  3. Oh my! How did you fit in the car? It as very nice to see the campus and your mother's day gifts were pretty even if you had to celebrate at a rest stop! (Is that a book mark next to the tray?)

    1. Nobody was allowed to move or breathe :). It somehow worked, but it was a tight fit. Yes, it is a wooden bookmark :).
