Went Over The Big Blue Ocean

Well, we did it. After a quick bout with Tourette's Syndrome and cool down time where I informed my husband I absoulutely was not going to Germany and he could go without me...here I am. To describe the above pictures (I apologize that pic #1 is sideways, the picture is correct in the album)

1. This is the street outside our hotel room in Landstuhl, Germany.

2. This is the view outside our window...Nanstein Castle, google it.

3. This is our hotel room. It is a mini apartment.

So far, all toliets I have encountered have been normal-none of those crazy poop inspection shelves so many have talked about...but I have really only seen the bases. And have I seen bases. There are a total of 9 military bases in this area. And in order to get your processing done-and boy are you processed, you have to go to several different ones in order to get your ids. I have a id to allow me on bases and id to allow me into the hospital; ids for Alex because I sponsor him...we have been joking today that he has lost his identity because everything has to be processed under my name. It is a bit overwhelming, especially since I have never been around military. Guns and acronoyms about sums it up. There is acronoym for everything you can think of. I think there are acronoyms for acronoyms. And they expect you to understand this gibberish.

Jet Lag was hell-if I could have taken a picture of us at 6:00 yesterday evening it would have been a sight. But I was too damn tired. We literally fell into the bed and went straight to sleep. They had us running yesterday the minute we got off the plane and we did not stop until 6:00. Crazy.

Well, that is it for now-love, kisses and Auf Wiedersehen.
