Chapter 7
On the Seashore
The next day we departed on our trip to the GDR. Through many miles the train was following the riverside, it was a terrible sight to be in the middle of a great sea of flooded meadows. Only here and there higher points remained dry. More to see in Canned Roaddust.
Our homeward journey was more than tiring. We arrived early morning and, after getting home, we went to sleep for half a day, before visiting our relatives in the afternoon.
As we were settling down into the routines we have realized that my wife’s schoolyear has been lost. She could not prepare for the exams and so, appealed for a year’s delay. This was the only case when we have not been serious enough to make her education completed.
