Whole lotta pictures!

Wiesbaden - 2:55p.m. - 29 degrees and cloudy

Hi everyone!

I am sitting at an internet cafe right now as we will not have access in our house until the 10th. Internet cafes are these shady places where people smoke a tobacco plant worth of cigarettes and they charge you 2 euro per hour to connect.

We are learning that the Germans are not too keen on making appointments. Everything is VERY laid back and never set in stone. The most common phrase we hear is "in a day or two" which ends up being three.

I did end up getting my luggage on Wednesday afternoon! Let's just say I threw out my socks.

Kelli went to work yesterday (Thursday) and I begin on Monday. She drove to work all by herself yesterday and made it pretty easily. There is a portion of her commute on the autobahn where there is no speed limit. When we picked up our cars we got up to about 160 km/hr (~100mph) but had to get back in the right lane as there were a whole lotta people in faster cars on the road.

I am flying to Dusseldorf on Monday for a 2 day meeting. My boss lives in Barcelona and this will be the first time I see him face to face in about 5 years. He used to work in Cleveland and is now running Europe.

There is an awesome Thai place that we have been told about, I think we'll be heading there tonight. Gotta go for now but please post some comments when you check out the site. Enjoy the pictures, I took them on my walk here today. It may be easier to scroll all the way to the bottom and then up. That is the way I took them!

Take care everyone and we will talk to you soon!

Tschuss! (Bye)
