Mayor of Neukloster

Yes, I thought the Mayor of Neukloster deserved his own post.  This super cool guy thought that instead of hosting a reception for us in the town hall, he would show us a more enjoyable experience at Neukloster lake.  Enjoyable it was!  Mr. Frank Meier has only been the mayor for one year.  When asked what is his most difficult challenge about being the mayor of a small town in Eastern Germany, and what is the greatest reward, he answered:  money and the people…He joked when we asked him what his responsibilities are.  “serving coffee and cake to the Americans when they come to town.”  It’s not every day you get to meet the mayor!  Here are some pics from Neukloster lake and our very memorable experience.
