saying goodbye

Today we went out in the cold and rain to wave goodbye to our brother-in-law as he and 58 other people started their 10 days long journey to the east to bring clothes, food and other goods to people in need.
We hope and pray that they will keep save on the roads, that the boarder crossings will go well and that they get to be a blessing to the people they will meet.

 can you see little Schmitti? :-)

Gentlemen, start your engines! 

there were at least three times as many vehicles to either side
