Friends from Wilhelmshaven, Germany

Holly and I hosted Dr. Harald Marencic and his wife Angelika for three nights at our home in Cool. We met through The Hospitality Club at www.hospitalityclub.org prior to their Northern California Gold Country visit. Harald is a wildlife biologist and Deputy Secretary with the Common Wadden Sea Secretariat in Wilhelmshaven, Northern Germany.

Angelika, a german school teacher with a very british accent, teaches English language and History. We learned about the coastal town of Wilhelmshaven in Northern Germany, the North Sea and the Wadden Islands. Our guests like hiking, biking, camping and; as we do, hosting travelers.

They are warm, kind and friendly people, we had dinner together during their second of a three night stay. I played grill master and treated Harald and Angelika to grilled T-bone steaks followed by cheese and wine, we had a great time together.

After a warm farewell, we promised to stay in touch and visit with them in Wilhelmshaven, Germany in the future.

P.S. If you would like to host us; or be hosted by us, please contact us using the Contact Cool Travelers link at the bottom of this page.

Looking for decedents in Wilhelmshaven
We are looking for any decendents of my family living in Wilhelmshaven. We plan a short trip there in January and would like to visit with family if possible. I am first generation as my mother was born there in 1903 and left lots of family behind who never came to Ametrica. J. Buck, Roseville, CA [e-mail]

Wilhelmshaven
Nice to see a short blurb about Wilhelmshaven. I lived there for a few years back in the 70s. Loved it all there. My son was also born in Wilhelmshaven Has always been a place in our hearts.
