This was actually the first cheese we bought. Bergkäse came first because I was looking at it when the cheese idea came to me. Camembert is actually Reverend le Camembert. It’s French. We pronounce it “KAM-MEM-BURT” because we thing it sounds like a statue building Dilbert character, and that makes us laugh. Camembert is a […]
Welcome to the first installment of Cheeses. This category will be dedicated to the cheeses we encounter in Europe. This installment focuses on Aktion VLBG. Bergkäse that we found at the local super market. Before we get to the cheese itself, I need to take a minute to discuss the naming of this segment. I […]
So we haven’t had internet until today (Tuesday). On Saturday we did something Will calls “dry blogging.” This is where you write a blog post to be posted at a later date. I wrote this on Saturday and it mentions many of the same things Will talked about: So, we’re here. It is Saturday night. […]
Oh man, we finally have internet. We’ve got DAYS of catching up to do, so sorry if things aren’t really back to normal for a bit. We’ve been saving up blogging things, so now you get slammed. The blog displays in reverse chronological order, so if you want to read things in the order they […]
The past few days have been spent getting a few key things done and recuperating from the traveling. Monday we hit the city hall and turned in some paperwork. Before we an get my residency permit, we need a bank account in country with money in it, so today we went over to the bank […]
Sunday was a pretty lazy day. We slept in, then went to McDonald’s for breakfast, since all the stores are closed on Sunday and we had no food. It’s weird though. It’s the exact same food as in the states. It’s not exactly fine cuisine there, so how did it even make it in to […]
Saturday was a busy day. We didn’t have bed sheets, so we kind of made due. There were pillows and weird blankets. They do things a little different over here. Instead of having a blanket, you get a liner, and some interior insulation. The things the dorm provided us are the insulation bit. We need […]
The train ride was pretty nice. I actually cat napped the whole way, but Mary Jo paid attention to the scenery. I did notice this insane looking tower though. It was extra odd because I could have sworn I had seen the same tower in Frankfurt. Oh, we also watched “The Hangover”. It was OK. […]
The final leg of the flying was about 2 hours. At this point I wasn’t feeling so great, so I napped some more. It really helped. Here’s what we looked like before my nap: Before I knew it we were sitting on the tarmac in Frankfurt, Germany. We were at the way back of the […]
The big 8 our flight went OK over all. The plane had little TVs built into the seats in front of us, so we got to watch movies the whole way. That bit was nice… but a hair depressing. Before we took off I was looking through the selections. You know what they had? Iron […]
