... all so delicious I had to sample each one twice to finally decide. I could only buy one bottle at $8.50 a piece or I would have bought two or three of them. I decided on jalapeno sauce, which was a 6 out of 10 on the heat meter. The habanero was 10 out of 10 and it was actually pretty hot, but not 10-out-of-10 hot, I'd say. It did burn my tongue, though, and that takes some serious heat to do.

Anyway, on our way back to the car we decided to try the vendors' foods ...

... just Henry and me in a cold, wet parking lot at transient lodging. Despite high and excited expectations for the afternoon and for what was to follow, the day concluded in much the same fashion, with Henry and me in a cold, wet parking lot, like a serpent come back to bite its own tail and little else having changed.

I was not looking forward to going to the Housing department at 12:30. Since ...

... from getting fatigued so they'll stay in the store longer. Or perhaps to get respite to the bored husbands. In Spesbach we went Luc's, where Andrew and I took a break from the Tiffany lamps and ornately worked armoires with a coffee and chocolate pieces downstairs.

Luc's is a great place for antiques. While it does cater to Americans, the pieces they have are awesome, and expectedly expensive. Tracy and I bought a Tiffany lamp (not an original), and a couple of little ...

It is hard to describe the joy that I felt on the 21st, when I was taken by ambulance to Lourdes airport and saw the C21 (Learjet) and its US military crew that were to take me to Landstuhl. Although the care at Lourdes was excellent, there is something innately comforting about being with people of your own country, their voices, accents, manners felt like it ...

This is where the Air Force base is and its only about 7 min away. It's basically a little America here...they have everything from gyms and a pool to a shopping mall. It's really convenient and really nice to have a place to work out and somewhere where I understand what everyone is saying and what's going on...but I'm in Germany! So I am going to try not to come here too often.

So I technically live in Henschtal, but it's easier to say Glan-Münchweiler because its the town next town over and a bit bigger. Henschtal is beautiful! We seriously live in the country and it's such a neat change. The people are really warm and friendly and sadly they all speak English...the Elsner's know everyone and I am quickly meeting all of the neighbors!

... are blue the regional road signs are green and the local road signs are white. In each country they change the colors. We must have gotten too close to the boarder because we were following green signs and found ourselves on the freeway. 6 kilometers of honking cars communicating something we already knew was a less interesting experience.

... Faites attention à ne pas tousser lorsque vous passer la frontière chinoise ou hong - kong, car si vous avez des signes grippaux l'entrée du territoire sera refusé idem si vous avez de la fièvre. Et sachez qu'ils possèdent des caméras thermiques, ou bien des thermomètres pistolets lasers. Cela est vrai aussi pour les gares, musées,... Question assurance, en France tout le monde prend avi-international. Donc je la prends aussi.

i cant belive the flight was so long and i couldnt sleep on the plane. but in the end all was worth it. 14 hours after the start of my journey i was happy i took the chance to do it. every thing exept the castles look a lot smaller, took me a while to get used to the driving ( the roads are ...

... the game, and were by far the most vocal throughout the whole game. However, with 10 minutes to go, and 1 nil down, you could sense the tension in the Aussie crowd. They continued to chant and sing, but is was a little reserved. Then came the magic seven minutes. Super Timmy Cahill.... what a legend. The crowd erupted after the first goal, went absolutely berserk for the second goal, and ...
