We nearly raced through the east German town of Torgau without stopping, oblivious to its rich history.
Luckily this lively, erudite retired farmer, Heinz - with a real flare for storytelling - adopted us for a whole day. I was so enthralled with his tales - such as how the allied & Russian troops met here at the river Elbe, thus effectively isolating Germany & ending the war - that I kept catching myself with my face almost pressed against his!
A wonderful day, thank you Heinz!
