day 4:

we started our travel home with a stop in munich, where we had a tour through the Allianz Arena and the museum of Bayern München
We where in the locker room, saw the 22 copies of the championship disk, the15 national cups, the UEFA cup-winners-cup from 67, the UEFA Cup and the 4 Champions League trophies
also memorabilia from the heros of my youth: Paul Breitner, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Klaus Augenthaler....
the iconic legends of the 70s: "the Kaiser" Franz Beckenbauer, "The bomber" Gerd Müller, "the bull" Franz Roth, "the cat from Anzing" Sepp Maier......
and the superstars of the last 20years: Matthäus, Elber, Kahn, Scholl, Effenberg.......

the highlight was the original championship disk, awarded last saturday, not even cleaned jet after the party

after 6 hours in traffic jam we decided to do another stop in Nürnberg and walked through the famous old town and ate Nürnberger Bratwürste (the recipe has it's 700th birthday this year)

late in the evening we where home

there will be pics posted
and before any Uri-clone will ask:
no only pics from OUTSIDE the hotel room will be posted (the others are kind of blurry anyway)

honeymoon update

day2

we did an amazing hiking trip through the Wimbachklamm gorge, they build wooden walkways over the wild water,
in the afternoon we inva.... um....visited Austria on a trip to Salzburg, the 3rd biggest city of Austria, the whole town is UNESCO world heritage site
like berchtesgaden Salzburg was indipended until the time of Napoleon, ruled by an Lord-Archbishop.
Salzburg, as the name (Saltcastle) suggests, became rich through salt mining and salt merchants, Keep Highsaltcastle is one of the biggest castles in europe

Salzburg is the birthplace of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Hi everyone,

FLITTERWOCHE - glimmering week, or as the english speeking world calls it: Honeymoon

we are in the Berchtesgadener Land down in southern Bavaria.

It is one of Germany's most famous vacation area, everything is just like Americans imagine Germany, in other words very Bavarian:
The Alps, mountain lakes, Dirndl, Lederhosen, beer in huge Maßkrügen
it is kind of ironic because Berchtesgaden is bavarian since just 200 yearsit was an indipended church state before 1820 ruled by Lord- Abbots

famous landmarks are the Königssee, Zauberwald, Hintersee and germanys second highest mountain, the Watzmann, part of a mountain massif formed by the Watzman, the Watzwife and the Watzchildren (yes, really)

on a much darker note, Hitlers holiday house, the Berghof was here (now a resaech and documantation centre for the nazi time)

today we took the famous boat tour over the Königssee to St. Batrholomä and did a great walk around the Obersee

Good Morning FaWtL,

we had a wonderful day, the weather was warm and sunny, the ceremony good, a very talented relative sang for us, friends waited before the state wedding hall,
we had a great time sitting in our garden with friends, guests and neighbours, drank some beer and Apfelwein, ate good, and a lot of helping hands made the clean-up swift

now we sort through first presents, look at pictures and relax (slight headache I have)

after midday preparations for the BIG day tomorrow will start

thank you all so much for your congratulations and well wishes

Or maybe not, can't say I've heard about any Texas moose. But you never know.

Texas mooses are cunning and sneaky beasts.

I don't think they actually have moose down in Texas. Not that it matters. Since everything is bigger in Texas, the deer are probably the same size as the moose.

we had a moose in Hessia, his name was Knutschi he imigrated from Poland in 2009 - that are 500km just to the polish border!

He died in an accident in the same year :-(

but in Brandenburg, Saxony and Bavaria there are small populations of imigrant Moose who are reproducing,

so the moose is no longer extinct in Germany - the scandinavian tourism industry may tremble in fear, because Germans love Moose even more than they love David Hasslehoff
who was in Berlin 2 weeks ago, by the way

Salt sticks are great, though.

we made my favorite meal, our hessian national dish: Grüne Soße

1 cup yoghurt
1 cup of curd cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
milk to make it more fluidy
tablespoon of mustard
tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
salt, pepper
stir into a creamy sauce

add 6 hard boiled eggs cut into small chunks

add chopped herbs, traditional are the following 7:
chives, sorrel, parsley, garden cress, chervil, borrage, salad burnet

because some of these don't grow yet, we used:
chives. parsley, sorrel, salad burnet and ramson (also called bear leek or bear's garlic)

serve with potatos and drink Apfelwein and afterwards a clear Schnaps like Basaltfeuer

A lot of it is the register I'm using and non-english speaking clientele I deal with. Many of them, and I mean that, do not know what gas pumps they are when they hand me cash. It's aggravating to an hourly basis when I put their fair in the system and they are on the wrong pump. By the time I catch it, someone else has pumped their gas. I have my procedure to correct this problem, but time and again some blunders into it.

Seriously, how hard is it to memorize your make and car model, the pump station number, and the grade of gas you need. The customer expects me to do that and I don't even drive their vehicle. I hate that.

Anyway, I'm hitting the the job board on the internet. I had several hits yesterday. I'm also looking into cab work her in Vegas. I just the cash for licensing and drug testing.

I'm not done yet.

well, pumping gas works different in US and Europe, we hand sometimes a hard time with the credid card payment system

hi everyone

on my way home from work I have today seen 7 storcks in the meadows,
it makes me happy, when I was a child there was not one single storck living in my valley, now there are around 2 dozen, and many grey heron and great white egrets

Are the storks an omen, Mr. About-to-be-married?

well, we will see, it is certainly something we would not be sorry about

What a lovely day it's turning out to be! ** spoiler omitted **

I hope the rest of you are having a wonderful Friday too!

Congrats on the good diagnosis!

Thank you. I've been very, very lucky. (I mean, getting a cancer diagnosis sucks, but compared to how bad this COULD have been, I'm fortunate beyond belief that the treatment and recovery has been as relatively simple as it has.)

Glad to hear that, Lindisty and best wishes for your future health

I haven't been able to find any jobs in my technical field in the Pacific Northwest but have applied for four this morning - one local and three within an hour's drive of my mom's house. Work would give me some chance to get back on my feet, even if it's not where we want to end up.

best of luck Treppa
