Honolulu, Hawaii
We went for a ride up to the Punchbowl or the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. It is so peaceful there, reverence to all those who gave their lives for our freedom!
There I saw these flowers, Bird of Paradise, which were one of my mom’s favorite flowers. They are so unique and their colors are gorgeous!

As, my friend, Christine and I walked thru the forest and along the Rhein, we saw this mother duck with her ducklings right behind her. No matter where she went or what she did, they stayed in this straight line! Notice the Crane behind them watching for dinner.

After arriving at our friend Christine’s house, we went for a walk along the River Rhine. It was so lovely and peaceful. There were Ducks and Swans which we fed. One of the mother’s and her two babies, Cygnets, stayed back, but finally came over for food. These little Cygnets were adorable!

Here is the walking bridge that takes you over to the peninsula where we walked thru the forest to the River Rhine. Though this water is apart of the Rhine, the big part of the river, that has river boats on it, is on the other side. We passed beautiful flowers, swans, other people & had a wonderful time walking thru the forest and along the Rhine!

The home of Robert Schuman is very modest and shows what a humble man he was! Thanks to Marlies & Helmut Werner for bringing us here! This photo was taken from his garden showing the back of his house with the steeple of the church he visited daily which is across the street from his home.

Robert Schuman was an amazing man, born in Luxembourg, he grew up to be called the ‘Father of Europe’. He spent most week-ends at his home and the last few years of his life there, during which time he attended church daily. His garden is beautiful and peaceful, so I took advantage and put my feet up and RELAXED. In this photo you can see his house thru the trees to the right and the church he attended to the left.

The garden’s at Robert Schuman’s house are beautiful as you will see by other photos that I will post. They are well manicured and kept up so well! This photo was taken from inside his yard, so this is what people would see as they left his home.
We were very happy that our friends, Marlies and Helmut Werner, took us out to learn about this humble and extraordinary man!
