I've been in Germany since the beginning of June now - it's been in experience! We are in Bremen and the weather is like Charlotte in spring time... only every day! It rains quite a bit here but overall the weather is temperate in the 70s unless St. Pete goes nuts and cranks it up. To almost 100 the other week. Crazy!

We had to wait until yesterday to get a telephone line and Internet installed. Generally everything takes absolute ages here and the paperwork and bureaucracy can drive you batty! Everything has to be done perfectly and in triplicate Ha!

We take the bus and streetcar just about everywhere and the town is really very connected. Lots to see and do, even get a lot of tourists from the Netherlands coming through. BUT! The Germans can be sooo rude! Lots of bumping and shoving getting on and off streetcars, shoving in line at the store, bumping into people in the street - nobody apologizes. Ticks me off. Anyway... I'm off to get some work done.

Hope to see everyone soon :)
