Bonn, Germany
My friend, Christine, and I went to a pottery market in Bonn and there in the middle of it was this statue of Ludwig Von Beethoven who was born in Bonn. He was baptized in 1770 and when we were there in 2002, we visited his home. It is amazing that during the last 10 years of his life he was almost deaf and many of his most admired works come from that period of his life. It makes me want to be the best that I can with the faculties I have!
A side note; I have always loved the name BEETHOVEN! I even had, as a teenager, a small dog I named Beethoven. My grandfather visited us from New Zealand during that time and he couldn’t understand why I named my small dog such a huge name, so he refused to call him Beethoven and always called him Chopin!
