The Germany Installment

  • German man on train doesn’t realize Mel speaks fluent German and pontificates to the rest of the people in the train car that we are “American Scientists” and “Obama-sisters”, whatever that means.
  • It’s fun to push the button on the bread dispenser at the discount market. Fresh pretzels!
  • Walking on a Roman road in Cologne.
  • Funf beers please! Joel’s pronunciation of five is misinterpreted as fifteen
  • The lotus effect was discovered here.
  • Beethoven's place of origin is in Bonn. No photos allowed so we purchase a miniature bust.
  • Germany smells so good at night.
  • 12 different kinds of schnitzel!
  • Kaffe and Kuchen in Bonn!
  • It's raining in Cologne. We take refuge under a Starbucks patio umbrella.
  • Going 170 km/h on the autobahn. Nearly get cut off by a slow-moving van.
