[RC] A lazy day in Germany - LUCIE HESSI had a very nice long email that I wrote last night to send to you all. I sent it to Ridecamp, but it didn't get through, I also didn't keep a copy, so that's why you haven't heard from me. Today was a quiet day. The Endurance Folks left yesterday, so I had the day to myself, which I spent, quietly, napping, reading and doing a much needed load of wash. Since I have made myself at home here in the Hotel, Petra,the hotel owner let me run a load in the Hotel's washer and dryer. She is very nice and has wonderful English. I was pooped. Running full speed since I got here a week ago Monday. I can't believe I've been here so long. I'm picking up a few words, I now know how to say "cheers" in German and have learned a German curse word.. In general, my pronunciation is often corrected. I can't seem to get my mouth to make the correct sounds. I just laugh... Tomorrow I plan to go back to the center of the town, lot's of cute shops there. "Shopping" seems to be an internationally known word! One of the American official guys who I know pretty well, (Art) is staying at the Hotel til Friday. He came in to the restaurant as I was finishing my meal and I sat with him and we chatted while he ate. He's a nice guy and fun to talk with. We talked horses of course. I plan to be home Monday in the evening. I hope to get another post out tomorrow morning. My adapter didn't adapt well to the German Electrical system, so I'm currently borrowing one from another American guy, who will probably want it back. My charger for the cell phone also died on this trip.. What about this electricity is so hard on this stuff? The cell phone will charge with the car adapter, I sure hope I don't have to rent a car to charge up my phone! So I may be without my lap top and cell phone for a few days.. My... how will I survive? More later.. Columbia, Missouri Region 6 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
