Mike Comes to Visit

Mike called us the last week in June requesting to come visit.  "When do you want to come?'  "Before July 15."  Ah yeah.  We bought a ticket, planned a week of day trips, and welcomed him to Germany.  Unfortunately, I had to work most of his visit, but I did take one day off to take a cooking class with him.  Mike, an aspiring chef, loved it.  We made conserves, tapenade, and artichokes.
