This is a sad entry today. And no, there is no picture. Let me explain.
We were heading back last night from the 4th of July barbeque our ward had (I love Germans) and we noticed that there was a storm coming in, full of lightning and darkness. We were walking across a huge park, called the Theresianwiese, back to our apartment, when E. Hebben asked to see my camera so he could get a cool picture of the lightening. So I proceed to take the camera case out of my bag and hand it to him. He takes the camera right out and is holding it for just the right moment.
In any case, the moment never came. Right as we were leaving the Wiese, I noticed something fall out of my camera case (that E. Hebben was holding) and saw it was one of my filled memory cards. I reached down and grabbed it, and asked if the other memory card and USB stick were in there as well. They weren't. So then began the mad search for about 1800 pictures lost somewhere on a field the size of Mariposa Park. We didn't find them. So we ran out to the Wiese this morning and did a little more searching. Still nothing. I think they are gone. It kills me. The 2 gig card was completly full (about 650 pictures) and the 8 gig stick was half full (another 1200 pics or so...). We are heading back there in a couple minutes, but it's like trying to find a needle in a hay stack... Forget it.
Just goes to show you, not all days are sunny and beautiful...
Ok, I can't end like that. The good news is that all the "good" pictures were on that memory card I found. All the baptisms and a lot of other good stuff. It would have been worse if I had lost that one...
