Today we left Berlin to go to Prague. It was a very rainy day. We saw one very serious accident on the motorway. It was at a time when there was very heavy rain. I was thankful for safe travels. We stopped for lunch in Dresden, Germany, The entire city center was completely destroyed at the end of World War II by Allied forces. The estimate is that ove 25,000 people died in the bombings. There is a statue of Martin Luther in the city center square since the city became mostly Lutheran during the reformation. But when Ausgustus the Strong converted to Catholicism 1717 he had a Roman Catholic Cathedral built. The inside of the Lutheran Church is very ornate. - Nancy
