Apparently, Caspar has reached the age of reason, is without sin and in a state of grace! And you would have believed it too, when he took his Erstkommunion (First Communion) on Thursday. He looked and behaved like an angel in his white robe carrying his spring flowers. All the children, the girls with flowers in their hair, processed with the band to the church, sang songs, told stories and said prayers beautifully, and when we'd wiped away the tears we all sat at long tables in the sunshine and drank beer.
