pictures
I don't know about anybody else, but for us, the pictures are all black. Are taking pictures with the lens cap on?

strike-tradition
We've seen the strike on the news. They pointed out that the majority of the strikers were in their 20's and 30's, and therefore would not be retiring for a couple of decades. But they were very theatrical and enthusiastic as if it was going to affect them right away. They also pointed out, like you said, from 60 to 62! Even at the new advanced age, it will still be the earliest retirement age in Europe, and earlier than USA. We hope you take careful notes on the sandwich makins'. You painted a pretty delicious picture. Do they still sell the french bread in long skinny loaves wrapped only in the middle with a little piece of paper? How is your Kangoo working out? Does it have yellow headlights? Any other uniquely un-American characteristics?

Look At You Guys Go!!
Pace yourself on this trip! It sounds like you are packing in a lot each day. We wish we were with you. Take care...dave

Dunkel beer
Just a warning: Dunkel beer is for kids. That's what I learned in my German classes here in Honolulu. I used to love the stuff when I was in Germany, but nobody told me I was losing respect with every sip. Now, Hefe Weizen - Das ist Gut!!! And it tastes better at higher altitudes, such as the top of the Zugspitze.

having fun
Lorie and I will be having fun reading about your adventures. We look forward to all the juicy details. Are the streets and alley-ways still spic-and-span in Germany? Is the beer warm? Are the Frauleins friendly? Are you going to try a wienerschnitzel mit jaegerart? Don't forget the Jaegermeister... Can't stand the stuff myself, but it's tradition, and who can argue with that.

Viel Spaβ
Viel spaβ (pronounced: feel shpass) literally translated means, "much fun", but is more commonly recognized as a parting comment made to someone as they journey off on a vacation or to do some other fun thing. It's like saying "have fun!!!" I wish I was going too. You two are going to see and do some cool things. I'll be looking forward to reading the blog.
