Trip to Germany - July 2017 In July 2017 Paul and I took a trip to Germany with other members of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Oak Park, IL.  We spent 10 days visiting sites where the reformer Martin Luther lived, studied, taught and preached.  Towns such as Wittenberg, Eisleben, Eisenach, Leipzig, Ehrfurt, Torgau, Weimer, and Berlin were all places we visited.  There were many highlights of this trip and we had a great time.
