Hallo Jerry,
go to Amrum, it is the loveliest island I know.But it is very hard to get a
place to sleep in summer, because there are a lot of tourists round there.
Have a look to the Amrum- homepage.Also my son has a homepage there, called
www. amrum- windsurfing.de
You see, we love this island and we are there every summer. Perhaps I will
find the house of your siblings and then I will send you a photo.
I live in Munich, Germany. But write to the adress of Mrs. Hoefer, which
I´ve send you before and she perhaps could help you. She was born at Amrum
and her father`s name was Lorenzen, a farmer there.
Regards Ute
