We have Arrived!!
Hello my friends! We have made it. We are now in Germany. It was a looong flight with the girls but they were very good considering they don’t remember ever being on a plane before. We got here at about 7:30 am on Thursday and oh my are we jet lagged. Just to let you know how bad it really is, it is 9:12 am here and at home it is 2:12 am. My body feels like I should be in bed but it is WAKE UP time here in Germany. I know it won’t take too long to get used to it, I’ve done it before.
Now to the good stuff: It is absolutely gorgeous here! Every single town looks like something out of a post card. Apparently there are very strict rules about home building around here. All home styles and colors must be approved by a committee before a person can build or paint their home. Which explains why everything is so pretty. The weather is absolutely gorgeous, it is currently 14 degrees Celsius which is 57 degrees fahrenheit. The high today is expected to be 22 degrees Celsius which is 71 degrees fahrenheit. This brings me to another cool point, Germans do not believe in air conditioning! The only place with a/c is our hotel room (currently on post, no idea about the German hotels). The thing is, you don’t need it!! I’m sure you have heard about German engineering, well it doesn’t stop with cars. The windows are amazing, first of all, NO SCREENS!! It is cool enough here that there aren’t many bugs at all (which means no FIRE ANTS and no WASPS!!!). Okay so the windows, they have handles like a door, when the handle points down the window is closed and locked, turn the handle sideways and the widows open all the way into the room like doors, turn handles up and the windows open from the top only. It is the coolest thing ever, I could really get used to this.
Also on the subject of German engineering, we have the shower. I know what could be special about a shower? Well there is a detachable shower head , nothing special, right? wrong! The shower holster is attached to a bar where it can be slid up and down depending upon the height of the person in the shower. So Rusty can have the perfect height and so can Gabby. Cool, huh.
I will be adding some pictures that I have taken. Be sure to look they are great!
Ok I tried to upload the pictures and I am having some trouble, until I can get them on this site you are welcome to chech them out on my myspace www.myspace.com/mishymay you will have to be on my friends list in order to view them.
