Ballyclare-Dorsten Visit Part 2 (with photos)





So here are some photos that I took (or were taken by my son) during my visit to Dorsten in order to help out with that presentation and meet with Mary and James.
As you can see, the group seemed to be "VIPs" and the photographers rushed to take their photo - ok, one (kneeling) was from the press, the other is a host who took the chance to get his group photo at the same time, too. I took the same chance, but left the "official" photographer inside my frame, and you see both Northern-Irish guests AND their Dorsten hosts.
And the two ladies in the "funny dresses" are my sister and her friend who acted as town guides and wore their "medieval clothing" which they once made for the occasion after images of medieval dresses they had found in the "Manessische Liederhandschrift" (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Manesse ) - for the history of my home-town dates back to the Middle Ages.
The third photo shows our dad and the new minister of Ballyclare Presbyterian Church, Reverend Robert Bell in conversation with my sister, and the last my sister "in action", i.e. being the tour guide :D.

There are more pics to come, though not today --- time for choir practise :D.
