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

Mmmmm, German bier (shameless mimicry of Homer gargling & drooling with nasty pink tongue hanging out like a St. Bernard).
I'm not so sure about the Müseli, isn't that just a fancy name for dried shei§e they found in the fields? What do you put on it? Fruits, hei§e milch? :-P
Going to a monastery for bier seems to lend further credence to Ben Franklin's stipulation that "Beer is proof God loves us & wants us to be happy!", no?
How are the sausages? Maybe I'll try to get down to this year's Oktoberfest in Denver & try some of the local versions!
Looking forward to pictures of the castles!
Your travel modus does seem interesting. Reminds me of the convenience stores in Tulsa Git-N-Go! Which language(s) are you slaughtering, English, Deutsch or are you throwing in a little Francias (sp!!!) just to keep them on their toes? :-)> (Note placement of ght ;-).
Have fun storming the castles!
"real joy comes not from ease or riches or from the praise of men, but from doing something worthwhile."
I am so impressed that you are travelling the world! Not with ease or riches, but with what what you can carry on your back!
I know that home will never look the same to you now ... but I am already counting the days (...94 and counting)
Looking forward to pics from the Kiteboarding Festival and Paris!!!
And as in the words of Joseph Campbell, "Follow your bliss" !
