Happy 4th of July!
The United States seems so incredibly young, which I guess is due to the fact that it is.Thanksgiving and the 4th of July are two holidays that always make me homesick. I think it's the American spirit, gatherings, and the non-exclusive nature of the two. They both just seem so uniting and celebratory.
This is a photo I took a while back, at a county fair in Ohio, that my roommate took me to. I loved walking through the barn and seeing the animals. All of the farmers were very proud of their livestock and there was a great feeling of community. The glowing light just seems like a ray of hope and the flags are the sweetest little detail that give it the ultra Americana vibe.
Tomorrow I'll post more about how we spent our day.
I am looking for a way to contact a Catholic church in Mettenheim, Bavaria. It is a Catholic church of the Seven Archangels. When I do come acrss something, it is in German. I apologise- I do not speak or understand German. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

You can cut and paste the German for a rough English translation.
I searched for Mettenheim bei Mühldorf Sieben erzengel and found this link through a Mühldorf page about churches (kirche) and religion.
As they say here, 'Grüß Gott' and best of luck.
I love that picture. It seems to really caputre Americana in all its glory.

ReplyDeleteThanks! I thought the same thing. It's so middle-America.
