September gave us a big scare. On his way home from school Mark had a bike accident. He had a frontal crash with another biker at a downhill curve entering an underpass. Stupidly he cut the corner. Within minutes the ER doctor was there, followed by the police and ambulance. They took him to the local doctor's office, from where he called us. Luckily he wore his helmet, so nothing serious happened. The other person (an adult) was not hurt. Mark had the biggest goose egg that I have ever seen! Gigantic. The next day we had to go to the police station, where he was questioned and an accident report was filed. Since he is under 14 he was not charged with anything. The picture shows him on the next day. By the end of the week the scabs were gone, and a couple days later the goose egg practically disappeared. I guess he won't be cutting corners any more.It was nice also to get away from it all. So a week after the accident we visited Lichtenstein Castle and the Marbach Stud Farm of Baden-Wurttemberg (the federal state we live in). Both are about an hour away from our house. In Marbach some amazingly skilled Hungarian riders put up an amazing horse show including one guy riding five horses.
