Hullo!  PatriotPartner (John) and I are in Germany this week.  He is here for work, me for some R&R (and catching-up on work emails!).
In any case, I arrived in Frankfurt Saturday morning and then we made a bee-line for Strousburg, France where we spent the night. Dinner was great on Saturday night… until I inadvertently took an Ambien after the French Onion Soup.  Luckily for all of you, there is video of my state of being that I’m not ashamed to post when I get it organized.
Speaking of which, one of my Christmas gifts from John was a nifty gadget called “Flip Video”. It is basically an uber-small camcorder that operates completely on digital and is easy to edit and upload.  I’m hoping to get to my first video dispatch tomorrow (Tuesday).
For now… I just wanted to say hello from Germany. The last time I was here it was still “West Germany.”  Ah, how times have changed.Â

Must say I’m jealous, Bruce. Heidelberg is one of my favorite cities. Have a lot of great memories of trips there.

Hope you two can make it to Koln (otherwise known as Cologne). Definitely one of the gayest cities in Germany!

Ahh. So we’ll be seeing Bruce in Lederhosen?
Just remember, they were invited to a party in Poland back in ’39. What was that, Family Guy?
Peter is right. I am currently living in Köln and its fantastic. Well worth a visit. Enjoy Heidelburg. I hear its very nice!

I love Heidelberg. I have friends there whose dining room has a window looking out on the castle. It’s interesting that it looks different in every kind of light as if it had different moods in different weather and different times of the day. If you are a seriousl history buff, visit the remains (there’s not much left but a foundation) of the earlier castle from the middle ages on the other side of the river.
