We are in Schleswig, Germany, on a fjord in the far north. This morning the sky was mostly blue, then cloudy. Then black clouds opened to produce a ferocious storm. After ten minutes, the rain stopped. The rest of the day was partly sunny, partly cloudy, partly light showers with an occasional moment of heavy rain.

Within the town of Schleswig, there is a small fishing village with a small cemetery and a chapel in the center.

The streets of the fishing village are cobblestone and many of the homes date back several centuries.

Virtually all the homes display flowers to make the streets especially colorful.

A highlight of the castle museum is a huge Viking ship dating back to the third century.

Margaret particularly enjoyed window shopping.
