We just finished our first week of being in Germany and over all we did pretty well. When planning an air shipment in the future a couple things to remember to bring. #1 - a measuring cup with metric measurements and more clothes. We found that it's really hard to make pancakes from a German pancake mix without knowing how much milk to put in. We all could use some different clothes as this point as well. Our sea shipment doesn't get here for 10 more days and these 8-10 outfits we all brought are starting to get very old. We love German efficiency except when it comes to laundry. Why does it take over 2 hours to wash a load and another 50 minutes to dry it? It just doesn't seem right. I also think the USA could be making millions exporting beds to Germany. What are they thinking sleeping on these hard beds one foot off the floor. I can't sleep more than 4 hours without waking up trying to fluff up my brick bed.
Of course living with Greg always has it's laughter. Last week his navigation system told him to turn right so he did, not realizing that it was a pedestrian walk way. Fortunately the policeman was very understanding and yes, once again he talked his way out of his first german ticket. His company car is an Audi A8 which is a very large car for here since all the parking garages and parking spaces are built for SmartCars. You know the ones, if you can't find a place to put it you just store it in your purse until it's time to leave. Today we pulled in to a garage and after several attempts to get it in to a parking space he gave up and we drove out of the parking garage to find a spot on the street.
We did have a beautiful walk in the forest today which is what everyone does on Sundays since everything closes on Sundays. There were streams running everywhere, wild sheep and deer that we ran in to. I'll post pictures soon so you can see the beauty of it al.
