Ja ja

Breakfast: bread, butter, hard-boiled egg in cute egg cup  
 (peel away the top half of the shell and eat egg with spoon), 
a variety of meats, cheeses, and jams.  And coffee, tea, 
and water.

Milk from a little bear.  I almost fell for this when 
Norman tried to trick me.

After breakfast

Trying on some traditional German gear

Cool lederhosen.

The last week has been a thrill.  Lots and lots of food was consumed (including pickled herring, American stuffing, sauerkraut, spaghetti with cream sauce and shrimp and ham, red cabbage, almond-flavored Christmas tree-shaped ice cream treats, red pepper flavored potato chips, strawberry-vanilla jelly [I will be buying some of this to bring back to France...], creamy brussels sprouts, currywurst [eaten on the street with little plastic forks], Russian hot chocolate [made with vodka], strawberry yogurt cake, lots of coffee with cream and sugar, fruit tea, salted caramels, schnitzel, cordon bleu with homemade French fries, Glühwein [mulled wine], many sliced meats, tequila [complete with salt and lemon], carrot soup, sugar-coated almonds, shortbread cookies, goulash made with venison a.k.a. Bambi's father, lots of mineral water, homemade chocolate and caramel liqueurs, curry ketchup, and many a sausage).

Whew.  I may be getting larger.  Wider.

I learned how to shoot a gun today.  To be continued.

Oh, and I just heard "Born in the USA" on the radio and I felt strangely homesick and patriotic.  Weird.
