So you call mom and dad, and leave your siblings out of the loop. For that, I feel the need to tell you to get a haircut... hippie!
That said, I'm really glad that you're having a great time. And your photography skillz are on par with if not surpassing that of Father's.
Love ya kiddo.

AHHH! Ludwigs castle is fabulous! I'm so glad that you're having a grand time in Germany. And the pictures you're sharing are so nice. *esp fond of the mountain reflection one myself* Keep up the updates!
Sister in law.
Ach herr jemienaeh wow Eli! I love the pictures! thank you for letting me be part of your expirience. I do hope you get to see my corner of germany (thats right, its mein all mein)before u come home. Unless u fall in love with germany and never leave again. I can picture that. an a side note my cast and stiches are coming out on Thursday!!!! ask steffie to translate this... i think we speek a similar dialect. Bas uff dich uff grosser! and in high german ( Pass auf dich auf Grosser!)
Good thing you guys are safe!!! Hey you 2! Mom and I already wondered if you got there safely, which I guess you did. I just got back form Maike`s B-Day party tonight and it is already 4am...Good times.... This is something quite different down in southern Germany from what we did up here, right? You over the culture shock yet???
We decided to keep your bed intact up here in case you will be back with Steffi on Tuesday when she is headed back to Frankfurt for a day. You know you are always welcome back here, next Tuesday included. The pics came back from the club on Thursday night and they are cool! We miss wou a lot, no more American to show around, but we still talk about you and I have to say that you truly impressed my parents. They LOVED having you with us and you can be sure that you are ALWAYS a VERY welcome guest in our house.
Hope you enjoy the bikeride tomorrow. Cant wait for the next journal. Can you please add my parents at akwsh@aol.com to your journals? They would love to hear from you....
Talk to you soon....Happy Halloween (show 'em how its done!!!!!). :o)))
Thanks for sharing your adventures Still in the process of moving so finding a time out to catch up with you had been delayed. Thanks for this great way of sharing your fun and learning and wonderful old and new friends. I know you will have many wonderful experiences that will become this great story you are living. Love to you and your friends.
German spell check? Good thing that your computer doesn't have spell check in German, would just be half as much fun reading it. Make sure before you leave Germany you try another few German delikatessen, i.e. Hackepeter (steak tatar), stuffed Pig's stomach, liver and all the other Innereien, Eisbein, Kassler mit Sauerkraut, Bratwurst, Hefeknoedel, etc. Geeez I am getting hungry just thinking about it.
Thanks for a great time!! Hey "Eloy", hope you made it safely to the south of Germany. Did you get to see the old village on the way there? My family and friends loved you and we all really enjoyed having you with us- even if it meant having to drag myself to the Goethehaus, etc. Hope you found what you lost there- you did not leave it here... ;o)) Anyways, I had a great time and hope you did as well. All the best, we`ll be in touch, now that I finally understand the whole Travel-BLOG- "thingy"....
German breweries... ummm :) Hey buddy, travel the world and try to visit EVERY BREWERY you encounter. That would be awesome. When I'm looking at your picture, I wish I was there with you to have the other leg of that pig. Keep writing, and so will I, talk to you later buddy!
that's all you need to know That's what Germans do best, eating and drinking. As long as you know how to order a beer in German, or better how to order two beers, you'll be okay. Sorry I missed your call last night but they voicemail was one of a kind. No doubt you guys have plenty of fun.
Pig suits you !!! Hey babe ya look great!Especially with that leg of pig mmm mmm!!!It goes well with that rotten egg water right? Ya keeping me proud!! Hope you have many more interesting culinary adventures to come!!!
Good to see your enjoying the German Tradition... drinking and eating. hehe...Yea egg tasting water doesnt sound too appetizing to me. I think it's probably the equivalent of drinking out of Narragansette bay....Sorry for missing your calls...
Iceland wasn't ice?!?!?!?! Hi Eli!!!
I miss you so much! It sounds like you are having an amzaing time. If you are wondering, I am not on my computer doing this because if I was you would be back from your trip and I'd still be writing...:) Miss You
Heidi
We're getting phone calls from the pig's family!They're a little upset. I told them you were just enjoying yourself. They didn't see it that way.
We're enjoying both the stories and the pictures. It's good to see you show up in the shots every now and then. You've also got a great group of friends following your trip on the Blog. Have a good trip to southern Germany and on to Zurich. Mark, Sue and Polly in Spain will also be following your trip. They're looking forward to hearing from you. Your email will have their contact information. Have a great time.
