WE FINALLY HAVE INTERNET!!! Now, I know that's not such exciting news to most of you, but I feel like I have been disconnected for almost two months now, and have now been reunited with all of my family and friends. Everything happens so slowly here, it's sometimes very frustrating. I guess I'm a spoiled American. Oh, well! We took the train to Koln (Colonge) on Sunday with our friends the Busbys, and had a great day at the Dom Koln (huge, ancient cathedral) and the Lindt Chocolate Museum. It was a three hour train ride each way, since we were on the Happy Weekender Pass (family of 5 for 39 Euro, or about that), plus a wrong/missed train on the way home, so a very long day. The cathedral was amazing! Vince, Sarah and the eight kids climbed to the top, while Brady (bad back) and I (bad knee) wandered the inside. Then we walked along the river to the Chocolate Museum. I won't tell you how much I spent in the gift shop. Anyway, a great time was had by all. This weekend we are going to Rothenburg, an old walled city. More to come...
