We live in one beautiful German city, but we are just across the Rhine River from an even more beautiful German city. Mainz captures my heart every time we venture over the bridge.This evening we finally visited the much-talked-about Mainz Volkspark, or "People's Park". There is the most inventively fun children's splash park I have ever visited. Chlorinated, safe, suitable for all ages and totally free. Yet again I am struck by the paradox of how well German culture understands and caters to its children and the country's sadly dropping birth rate. What a waste. Well, we will do our American family best to soak it up while we are here.

Is it really that the German birthrate is dropping- or is it that the community is dropping below the surface, like into sub-earth tunneling systems...Why is this question popping into my head? i don't know. I hope I get to see that park though because that looks like fun
