Arrival in Germany

Wow, it just took me about 5 tries to figure out where to log in. I never guessed all the instructions would be in German. I will have to take time to figure out how to change the language to English.

Well, we arrived in Germany to rain and more rain (at least my new coat is being put to good use). We are staying on base a great little hotel that is kind of like an apartment. On the first night we were here we ate traditional German food at "Andres Stube," a wonderful local restaurant that we will take you to when you vist. I had Jagersnitzl (pounded pork with a dark mushroom gravy) and spazel (German egg noodles). Jake had another kind of spitzl with a light creamy gravy. I had some traditional wine-very good, and Jake had a light Hefevisen (sorry for the bad spelling). Everything was amazing, and not just because we were starving.

The next day I had a meeting in the afternoon and then we had dinner with Kathie (my boss) again. She took us to the German grocery store which was the most fun yet. We bought some necessities and then went to Kathie's house for a dinner of German Pizza. The pizza was good and we stuck to the classic four cheese and tomato basil. Jake ventured out and tried the peperoni, which he said was a bit more like a mutant salami. Oh well, if we don't try we wont know.

We are on our way to town to look for an apartment. This should be interesting! I will try to post some pictures next time.
