Germany Update

So we moved to Germany last week. It has been one adventure after another. Living out of hotels, learning to speak Deutch (German), experimenting on the subways, driving the Suburban in Germany, trying to blend in when we all must have "I am an American" tatooed on our foreheads, visiting the emergency room, German food, converting $$ to Euros, Jet Lag, and did I mention living in a hotel with 3 little ones?

But we are having a blast. It is truly a beautiful country and we love what we have seen so far. I am working on a new Family Europe Blog so check soon to see updates.

With love from Deutschland,

The Germans love Markets. This was a standard Saturday flower market in Stuttgart.

The famous fountains in Stuttgart are beautiful. Everyone plays in the fountain. So I finally gave in. Then I noticed blood pouring out of Caden's foot and realized that he stepped on glass in the fountain. We spent the next hour frantically trying to get him to the hospital. Fortunately, we had run into the first family I met at the airport earlier that day and we called them for help.


Dad was not happy I was taking a photo after carrying Caden through the city in and out of cabs, and up a hill with a bloody sock. We really stood out this afternoon! And he really wasn't happy when the guy in the Information booth outside of the hospital wouldn't speak English to us and took 3 minutes to look up from his magazine. We couldn't find the Emergency room until someone helped us. We looked a little out of place.





The Schloss, or castle, in Tublingen about 25 minutes from our place.



Addy insisted Caden go with her to 'Snow White's house'. He is always up for an adventure.
