The Five Country Tour


We're back from our little road trip (1,600 km = ~ 1,000 mi) or as our neighbors call it "an American trip". They call it that because Americans think nothing of getting in the car and driving 8 hours somewhere then turning around and coming back. Belgians wouldn't think of it. An hour's drive is long enough for one day.

I haven't downloaded one photo, but we had a nice trip, visited 5 countries (France, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Netherlands), 7 cities (Strasbourg, Freiburg, Interlaken, Zurich, Heidelberg, Cologne) and the weather cooperated with mostly sunny skies, no rain and very little fog. We confirmed that no one does Mexican like the Germans and that the Germans should leave the beer brewing to the Belgians.

I'm catching up today and starting to think about our upcoming Thanksgiving dinner. We're hosting dinner for 10 and although that may not sound like much, I've never hosted Thanksgiving dinner. Ever. So hopefully in the next 2 days I can figure out the metric measurements, find a turkey and we can pull off an American Thanksgiving dinner.

But most importantly, I'd like to wish a happy 31st wedding anniversary to . . . us!
