Scott, what a wonderful story, so beautifully written. Sorry for your loss. You painted a picture of farm life that was very familiar to this former farm girl from Ohio. I will never forget that you arranged a carrier tour for this American girl, it was certainly a special highlight for Jochen as well. Keep traveling and keep writing, you have a special talent. Greetings from a mutual friend, Mairi Marquart. We just returned from Croatia , we do RV tours together a few times a year.
Thanks for sharing are story again, you did a wonderful job writing it. Life is different here without Ralph, I am very fortunate to have the children close by. Enjoy the fall, the leaves here are starting to turn color. Your friend from Iowa. Rita
Beautiful photos Scott and great job posting them. We enjoyed the day with you and Frieda and the Deppe's. Enjoy the rest of your trip and safe travels.

This was a great and well written story, but mostly I'm sorry for your loss.
With respect to your amazement about the high technology used in farming today, a former colleague was a product manager for a startup that hit it big using data science, weather predictions and GPS - Climate Corp (sold to Monsanto). An article about them in the New Yorker is here: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/11/11/climate-by-numbers?utm_source=tny&utm_campaign=generalsocial&utm_medium=tumblr
What a phenomenal story! Thanks for the education and glad you had fun.
