lome grove once in a lifetime one ought to pay at least cursory homage to the holy places of religion and ancestry although our initial destination was the eleventh mennonite world conference the 1000yearold ghost of medieval europe briefly lured us into the vulgar pursuit of its vast art treasure and its maze of architecture the riot of roses the flo wered parks and gardens could almost

two seaton boys they had become close friends however he made many more friends at the conference in strasbourg he didnt want to leave them even for an afternoon when we had signed up to go on a tour bus to see koenigsburg castle this castle was on a summit of a 3000 foot peak in the vosges mountains surrounded by some of the most picturesque villages and vineyards of all alsace other highlights included the dazzle of the crown jewels in the vault far beneath the tower of london the ships on the english channel the beautiful trains of europe especially the one little red engine working at the
