Halfway

10 Feb 2008-18 months down, 18 to go!
We are half way through our tour here in Germany.
In the first 18 months we have skiied in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. We have been to a German amusement park, Holiday Park. We've been to several German cities (Saarbruken, Heidelberg, Munich, Koln, Triberg and Freiberg) and a few other countries (France, Italy and Czech).
We have eaten new things, or things made differently than we are use to, like eis cream, bratwurst on too small round rolls, saurkraut, schnitzel, potato dumplings and noodles, spargel, steak with fried egg on it, and many local beers.
We have met new and interesting people including our landlords, our Malibu bar friends and many military folks and families. We have attended the church services on post and found familiarity and differences. We've taken on new jobs, Korean translator to Equal Opportunity Advisor, secretary to family support and back to secretary. We have seen all four seasons, fall and winter twice, two Halloweens, Thanksgivings, Christmases and New Years.

In the coming 18 months, we have hopes and plans to do some or all of the following: Trips to Spain, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Garmish (Edelweiss resort), Greece. Two more Springs and Summers, one more fall and winter. Many more people, possible new jobs, and who knows what else!
Thank you for reading all about our adventures as well as our every day life, and sharing yours with us. We love and miss our families, our friends, our country.
