Deutschland

Yeah we are finally here, after 15 hours of flight we landed yesterday save and tired in Berlin where my Grandparents picked us up. The flight was ok so far except the first part to Minniapolis that was very bumpy and I got very very sick. That made me feel not so good the whole time until we arrived in Germany. But once here everything was great. My folks is very very happy to see us as are we of course to see them.
Last night we stayed at my parents little garden house, but tonight we will be in the apartment. The jetlag woke us up last night at like 4 am. But we could do anything, because the House is tiny and we slept in the living room and there is no door to the bedroom, just a curtain. So should we wake up early tonight we at least can watch TV.
Today we went into town, we had my moms car, and run some errands. I am trying to change my name in Germany because I need a new passport (my old one is still on my maiden name), but it is nearly impossible. They need so many documents and forms and we dont have half of them here. I guess I'll just keep the old name her. It is a hassle sometimes especially when flying, but so far I dont see another way - stupid Germany burocracy.

When we walk through town and speak English people look weird at us - I dont care but I feel like an exotic animal or something. In America everybody would ask you immedently were you are from, but here, just stares.

Tonight we had dinner with Oma and Opa and we had a great time - Ted was very happy, he got beer and grilled pork steaks and felt like in heaven. His german is improving rapidly and gets better with every bottle of beer he is drinking.

Tomorow we will go to Leipzig and stay a night there and we probably will be in the Garden until monday or tuesday - there is no internet, ok dial-up, but that doesnt count, so I wont be able to post until next week.
