Day Number Two

What happened to "Day Number One"?,  I hear you cry.  Well...the long and the short of it is that after my departure on Saturday to come to Germany,  I have spent a lot of time in airports and on airplanes but have had a hell of a time getting on the Internet.  Luckily (or not ...depending on your point of view) I can draw and manipulate my pictures off line enough to do some cartoons for you.

 

 

 

So....just to catch you up to speed:

I  arrived at 11:45 AM in Frankfurt yesterday which is 4:45 AM according to my tired butt's time (and real time zone differences).  After maneuvering  through customs and retrieving  luggage I was headed for my  first stop of Andernach, Germany.  Andernach is super cute and very quaint. For those of you that aren't regular readers, my husband has been working here for the last 3 months so he is feeling pretty much at home here.  I have been here about a minute and a half and haven't gotten acclimated quite yet.

Not speaking the language on top of the fact there is no Diet Coke available is offering me a bit of a challenge.....oh and do we need to mention that in Germany they never, ever, puts ice into beverages?  I am drinking what appears to be German bottled ice tea without the availability of any ice.  I find it interesting that ice can be put in the picture but when you ask for ice, you are considered a crazy person. 

We dropped in on a Christmas Festival, visited an old fortress, and got settled into our German Guesthouse where we spent last night.  Hubby is sleep asleep this morning because it is 4:00 AM and I am awake with an Internet connection.  YAY!....

BUT for now...I am going to get cleaned up for the day.  I have plenty of pictures of things that I will try to post as time and computer connections allow.
