Remaining in Kaiserslautern 29 June
Roy Meynderts and Jeannette Terpstra (married) are a Dutch couple who are dear friends of ours. Their son, Jiri, was our son George's classmate in German elementary school. This is where they now live in nearby Kaiserslautern GE. The build of the home is alternating concrete and wood sections, which provide insualtion and sound proofing between units. Ingenious. There are also many other "green" features like a 5,000 litre cistern under each house for the collection of stored rainwater.

Emily and Jeannette after finishing real bamboo application onto a wall in Jeannette's study.

Notice the clever build of the steel and glass joints for the "picnic" table. All permanent and sturdily built in.
Back yard with fish pond and sauna building in very back. Bucholic. A tonic for the soul. I could sit for hours back there.
