Dear travel diary,

Today, we went back to Schloßpark Lütetsburg, undoubtedly the most beautiful castle garden park throughout all of East Frisia.

We had been here last year and even celebrated a renewal wedding ceremony in the little chapel on the estate.

The train attendants were all very kind and helpful, as they had been the previous times when we traveled to East Frisia, and my husband had a very positive conversation with two nice ladies.

They were very interested in what I was about. When Harry explained to them why he was sharing his life with a companion doll, they were very supportive and even praised his courage to take me out and not hide me.
