Thursday, May 10 ... Gelsenkirchen

We rolled into Gelsenkirchen, Germany, to meet up with dear friends of Ma and Pa, the Winkelmann's. 

We decided to return the rental car, but first we needed to fill up.  We stopped at the Shell station that was two doors down from the rental car place .. Imagine our surprise to find Mathias Froelich wearing this t-shirt.



God was looking out for the weary travelers ...

We were able to connect with Pa's firefighter friend, Tobi.  Here's Pa with a few members of the Gelsenkirchen Fire Department.   That's Tobi Winkelmann in the white jacket on the left

  1. The Feuerwher in Gelsenkirchen trains personnel in water rescue using scuba gear and avalanche rescue for accidents in the colder climes. For some insane reason those guys LOVE to come to Corona de Tucson, don 50 pounds of gear and go into the desert to fight wildland fires. What the heck?
