World Traveler

We are in Germany, and I am at Humedica headquarters, and I am getting to catch up on a little blogging, and the lives of my friends that do blog, too. Our trip was...well, interesting. You would have to really know us well to understand how very adventurous we can be, because I am amazed at the things we do sometimes! But, here are the highlights of my thoughts throughout the trip (typing on a German keyboard is an adventure in itself, so please forgive me if I dont punctuate right, I cant find some of the punctuations I need, and y and z are switched!)
1. I told Dan about driving past some cops - I was going the speed limit - in Kosova, and looking in my rearview thinking what would happen if they tried to chase me down. I told him that I thought about trying to out run them. He told me that I would have already been too slow if I could see them behind me in my rear-view. He said that as soon as I had the thought, I should have gunned it. And, not that we are trying to become professional criminals, or join the mafia, but, I would make a lousy bad guy!
2. My drivers ed teacher would be horribly disappointed with my driving in the last few days, but that is assuming that he doesnt know what it is like to drive in Europe. All those little rules about good drivers, sometimes get set to the side in Kosova. But, driving throughout six other countries in Europe, they promptly got chucked out the window and left stranded on the side of the road. These people are crazy!
3. I hunted down a Starbucks in Munich, Germany. And, because the clerk (male) forgot to ring up the caramel apple bar that we ordered he gave it to us for free, and because he was flirting with me!! (Europe is very different that way!) And, Susie, I got something headed your way!!
4. I am surprised at how much German I really do know.
5. I am so bummed that I do not have photoshop with me for these two weeks, I think I could learn a ton more, and go nuts making layouts. GRRRRRrrrrrrrr! I could kick myself. I just did kick myself.
6. Judah has to be the cutest child in the world (sorry, all you other mommies), and I am amazed at how he knows how to work people. He wraps everyone, literally, right around his pinky.
7. my poor son will not know which language to speak by the time we get back home, neither will I

Sprechen sie Deutsch? Nein.
I took four years of German and all I have to show for it is a husband who also took four years of German(Did you now that fact??)
You also have a bunch of goods coming your way-- but I am questioning them since you are all digi-pro now. I'll shoot you an e-mail.
