Today, was our last day in Passau.  Before we left to make our trek to Sarah’s family in Haidensag, we took one last stroll around Passau in the morning.  We first walked to the point  of a park that is created by the intersection of three rivers - the Danube river, the Inn river, and the Ilz river.  It is very interesting to see the intersection of the three rivers as they all have different colors.  One flows black, one flows blue, and the other flows brown.  When we viewed the rivers from a nearby hill, you can really see the three different colors, and it is very interesting how the colors start to blur as the Ilz and Inn rivers merge into the Danube.  After looking at the intersection of the three rivers, we walked to a very old section of Passau, which was located on the other side of the Inn river.  What we found were the remains of a old Roman fort dating back to the 500-700 A.D. time period.  Seeing the old wall and turret, we all realized truly how young America really is.  American history only dates back 230 years, whereas you can see remnants of European history dating back over 1500 years ago!  It still boggles my mind to think that America really does not have that deep of a history compared to Europe.  But anyways, I won’t let myself run off to a tangent!  We then walked back over the Inn river, and went to Passau’s Cathedral to attend an organ concert.  It was very amazing to listen to what Passau claims to be the world’s largest church organ.  The organ concert was very good!  It was amazing to listen to the organ with its 17,451 pipes, in  what I like to call “Organ 5.1 surround!”  Why I call it that is because it has 5 separate sections of pipes in the church.  Two in the front corners of the church, one in the ceiling located in the middle of the church, two in the back corners of the church, and one in the middle of the back portion of the church.  Once the concert was over, we made our way back to the hotel to pick up the car, and start our trek to Waldkirchen.  We stopped in Waldkirchen to visit a friend of a friend of Rich’s.  At a nursing home where Rich volunteers, Rich met a lady who grew up and still has family near where his father’s hometown in Germany was located.  Once Rich told her we were planning on visiting his family in Germany, she told him of a niece of hers that runs an inn in a nearby town, Waldkirchen.  Rich and Ev thought it would be fun to show up unexpected, introduce ourselves, and give her a picture of her aunt who lives in the USA.  She was very shocked, and excited for us to show up unexpectedly at her guesthouse and give her the picture.  After having a short conversation with her, we decided to stop and have lunch at her guesthouse and cafe.  Once we were done there, we made our way through the German countryside to Sarah’s family’s home in Haidensäg.
