We're Here!

 
Departure:  On Time.

Arrival:  On Time.

But "On Time" was still a very long time.  Hunter + Hannah finally fell asleep on the flight from Amsterdam to Bremen and then again on the drive from Bremen to Vegesack.

 After dinner and an early to-bed, I washed out Hunter's suitcase and a few of the clothes that got oooooozed by his shampoo.  I can tell you that the suitcase smells very good now.

 

Since yesterday was Wednesday, today was Thursday - a perfect beginning to our German Adventure 2011 because Thursday is Market Day.  Fresh air and fresh temperatures!   Hunter's shampoo-soaked sweatshirt wasn't dry so he borrowed one of Werner's (not as overly big as you'd think!).  We stocked up on fresh things, greeted our old market friends Herr Meyer and the Schmidt's and then headed home.

And of course they were hungry - even though Hunter had eaten a Bratwurst - the first of many I am sure - and Hannah had a fish patty.  So, I fixed Graubrot.  Really?  It's rye bread (without the caraway seeds) and it was a big hit.  With butter for Hannah, with turkey for Hunter.

 A trip to the supermarket, a game or two of Boggle,

a look at Larson

and the start of our collage.  I know, it's just a canvas now, but stay tuned.  It will blossom under the hands of our resident Artist.
