Well, we received the new Spring 2007 LL Bean catalog and I have to say that once again I am fearful that we'll need to buy one of everything from it. Well ok, maybe not one of EVERYTHING... but there are lots of very nice things that would make our camping outings...
Victorinox Rescue Tool
Surfing the web, we came across a new kind of tool from Victorinox, the Victorinox Rescue Tool for your car. Having lived in Miami we know how many people drown each year when they lose control of their car and go into a canal. Well, here the Swiss did it again, they...
The trip is almost here
This time next week, we will already have been on the road for a while, headed to Locarno, Switzerland. I think we're all really looking forward to the trip now although it will be interesting to see if any of us still remember how to climb since it's been nearly a...
Roofers in costume
I hope you guys can see the guy standing on the scaffolding in this picture. In case you think he's lost or this was Halloween or something, this is actually what master roofers wear here in Germany. Our neighbors across the street started redoing their roof last week...
The new Ikea (…and an even nicer Hornbach)
This morning we headed out to Ikea to redeem our gift certificate. A new one has opened close to us a few days ago and we wanted to check it out. First off, I have to say that I hate the wording Ikea uses in its letters. The certificate stated "use this at your Ikea",...
Something we might need for our next big trip
The company FON has come up with a really interesting concept. Not only are they encouraging people to share or sell their own Wi-Fi broadband access...but they're also encouraging people who live near Starbucks to share those as well. We first heard about this...
The trash saga continues
I think I mentioned in a previous post that the trash collection situation here in Germany is a bit crazy and requires that we have 4 different garbage cans (paper, biodegradable waste, garden cuttings and regular trash) along with the yellow sacks for plastic &...
Making plans for Easter
Last year we went to Locarno, Switzerland, over the Easter holiday. We spent time in the midst of beautiful scenery and were really able to just relax and enjoy ourselves over the four short days that we were there. Before we left there, we said we wanted to make it a...
Meeting some of the neighbors
Although we've been sick the past few days, we still continued to force ourselves to go on walks twice a day with Ayla. Sometimes the 20-minute walk in the fresh air seemed to help us, and other times it was a struggle to get back home but we didn't want Ayla to...
Is spring here yet?
Today the weather here is absolutely wonderful. It could be a bit warmer I guess but the sun is shining, there aren't too many clouds in the sky and it makes you really feel that spring is just around the corner. I know it's much too soon to begin thinking that the...
