Rainy Tuesday.........

Hallo!
(Tuesdays blog)

This was our first full day in Germany other that the travel day which was exhausting. The first couple days and nights can be challenging due to jet lag, the time difference, sleeping in a new place with all the new night time noises, etc. The best advise I can give people on getting on the new time schedule is to take a Tylenol PM during the flight and DON’T take a nap the day you arrive, tough it out and it will make a big difference. Well, yesterday, I did not take my own advice. We took a nap! We were feeling so terrible from our sinus and allergy mess that we could just not go any longer. Despite our nap, we did fall asleep at a decent hour but woke up around 4am. After about an hour or so of just laying there listening to rain hit something that was making a noise with every drop and listening to a bird chirp, I finally dozed in and out for a while getting a little more sleep. (I’ve never heard a bird chirp at night in the rain!)

If you read the blog posted just before this one you are aware that there are several blogs posted back to back due to internet issues. The hotel is having internet issues and I have having a difficult time staying online. So I have written them and was waiting to post them.

Larry is feeling some better today, I’m feeling about the same except my head congestion is a little worse. Today being the first day Larry is getting settled into work, he did not have to be at work early and today should be an easy day for him. So we had a later than usual breakfast and he went to work. My friend Shelly and I went to the PX to pick up a few things that we needed. We had lunch and got somewhat caught up on girl talk. I took Shelly by a dish factory. Right now, I am at a loss for the name of the dishes! I’ve been there several times and for some reason have a hard time remembering. Anyway, they sell very expensive dishes that are made here in Wieden. My favorite area is the Irregular isles. I LOVE serving platters and bowls so I am in heaven looking through them. They sell the platters anywhere from 70€-120€…..I buy the irregulars for 4,50€. They can’t sell them at full price if they have the smallest flaw. I have to look very hard to find a flaw and some of them I can’t find anything wrong. Needless to say, I’ve bought several in the past along with gravy boats and other goodies.

It’s a rainy Tuesday in Germany and it’s chilly. Just one of those days you want to be lazy. I think I will chill out and read since the internet is misbehaving.

More tomorrow!
