Paris Here and Gone

We arrived in Paris about a week and a half ago. It was amazing. All the rergular sites: Tour de Eifel, Arc de Triomphe, The Louvre, and so many more. But one of the best things was the food. The bread . . . The cheese . . . The wine. All of it amazing. We explored Paris for a week and a half and now are in Lago di Como (Lake Como) Italy. It is gorgeous and a nice break between cities. Roma is the next stop. There are way too many things to say that we have done and ate. And at 1 € every 15 minutes I must cut this short and say:
I miss you all . . . And are reminded of people here across the globe.

Thank you for checking in on me and speaking your mind. I hope to get a little more time soon to write a little more in depth.

Safe and Sound and FULL!

Yes, We are here!

We got into Frankfurt and thru customs with no problems. We got a hostel the first two nights and found a great deal on the third night and got a double room hotel. The accomodations are worthy of what we pay . . . barely. We get breakfast mostly and if were lucky then they serve Müseli and that lasts us thru the night.

The grub is full of different flavors and aromas. We have experimented and ate what is to be expected in Germany. When we stumbled into a Pre-American Oktoberfest we had Lasenwürst and a huge pretzel and even bigger beer. In München we had the Original Wei§wurst which KATHERINE of all people ordered. The bier is to die for. You can either go to an outdoor "markt" and get a liter of bier for $4 or go to a grocery store and get a bottle of amazing beer for under a $1.

Our plan is to head to a Monastery tomorrow which is also coincedentally is also a Brewery. The food is amazing we hear and the beer is worth the . . . . you know what monks don't do.

After that we will head up North to Berlin and see the sights including a palace and a castle . . . or two. Then we will head even further North and West to Hamburg and meet a friend who owns a Kite shop and will take us to a German Kiteboarding Event.

This is the best way to travel. If there is something we see that we want to do . . . we grab our bags get a train ticket (cheap) and go there. It is pretty easy to talk our way into anywhere. Once you slauther the language a little they start to chat with you in English.

Gotta go head to the bar. Photos will come later.

Check back for more. MISS YOU ALL
