23. We got out of the door with the kids, heading for Copenhagen where Charlottes mom would take care of the kids while we went to England.

The weather was sunny all weekend. Here the park seen from the terrace of Saint Hill Manor.

Our home in East Grinstead was the Cranston House Bed and Breakfast. Only cost 64 Pounds for two nights for two persons. At Cranston Road, a 2 Pound taxi-drive from Saint Hill and a 10 Pound taxi-drive from the airport.

25. Saturday we browsed the shops in East Grinstead and attended the Patron dinner in the evening at Saint Hill.

We went at shopping in East Grinstead and talked to some of the locals while spending all the pocket money...

 

During the day there were several seminars at Saint Hill. One for Germans, one for EDs, several for publics, etc. At the picture it is a seminar for IAS offices.

Approx. 600 people attended the Patron dinner that was held in a BIG tent.

A total of 104 Patrons entered the stage that night. 600 people was appraising - and amongst them 22 IAS Gold Medal Winners.

From when you could still see the dancefloor for people. Later on it rocked so you would think the earth rocked with it. It was packed with jumping thetans!

The Golden Era Musicians rocked the house 'till midnight with an outstanding performance by the IAS Freedom Medal Winning singer, which name I have forgotten.

26. We went by plane back to Copenhagen and picked up the kids by Charlottes mom and went by car and ferry home where Thorstens mom took over. Then we went to Århus to catch the midnight bus to Berlin. Actually we had no problem sleeping that night in the bus...

27. We arrived as the first of approx. 150 busses in Berlin around 10 in the morning. And had time for a large cup of coffee before the demonstration in Berlin...

As the demonstration appeared on a full front-page of 2nd section of the Danish paper, Jyllands-Posten. The demo was in all Danish papers on Tuesday as well in the news on all Danish television stations.

Seen through the masses of flags from all around the world: Freedom medal winners Isaac Hayes and Anne Archer.

Other religions were there.

After a while the 12,600 people started to walk. There was about 8-10 people shoulder to shoulder in a 2 miles long march...

There were flags from literally everywhere: Israel, Great Britten, Denmark, Sweden, Greenland, USA, Schwitzerland...you name it!

After marching through the streets of Berlin we ended up at the Brandenburger Tor where David Pomerantz greeted us with songs. Amongst others "It's in every one of us" and "We Stand Tall". Also Isaac Hayes entertained with "The Theme from Shaft" and others...

The day ended with a march back to where we came from and thousands of people with candlelight singing in the dark evening.

Caroline found the basket a nice place to stay and Oliver is basically just figuring out when it would be the right time to kick the basket down the stairs...
