Pacival Blu Resort Wolframs-Eschenbach

So today and yesterday were full of training. I got trained on everything from child abuse to fire safety, from traveling in the area to cognitive development in ages 0-18. Yesterday my alarm failed miserably when it woke me up an hour early because it had been set wrong in my hotel so I ended up waking up at 5:45. Which was bad. The night befor...

So this is how i spent my last two days in cliff notes version:

12/19 wake up at 5, go to SFO and try to check in luggage
Me in a half an hour wait line at SFO int'l: wrong line
Two hour line at SFO Domestic: wrong line
Me bypassing the next line to ask if this is my line that i should be in...learn that my flight is canceled be...

We tried to take the train, it would have been more than 100.00 round trip. So after lunch at Mc Donalds, we deceded to drive there.
Parking was not too bad. But it was freezing! I dont think it got any warmer than 10 degrees farenheit! The hot gluwein helped, the kids had pretzels, cotton candy and Kearstin paid 2.50 euro for a piece of co...

After a few hours spent at work our friends Katka and Tom picked us up at 2:30 pm and we set for Nuremberg. We made two or three traffic jams and a lot of rainy and foggy areas. It means that instead of an average Tom´s speed of 160 kph we could only drove 130 kph or slower :-)

Thanks to our GPS called Marena we located the Ibis Hotel v...

Nicht etwa weil der Zug zuviel Krach macht, sondern weil ich flüstern muss, weil es so leise ist und die Mitreisenden irritiert aufschauen würden, wenn i...

Last night we went out with my two cousins Roland and Marcus, firstly to an interesting little music club and then to what is known as a dorf-fest. A Dorf is a little town and most towns have basically a mini Oktoberfes...

As planned we arrived at the Schottenhammel (Spaten) tent at lunchtime on Wednesday. However as we had suspected all the seats closest to the stage which were unreserved were all taken. We had to make do with a table in...

Hey there everybody!

How is everything going!? I have neglected to write in the past few weeks as things weren't interesting enough to justify sending emails. So stick in there, I might ramble on a little bit! And for those of you that look forward to my Sunday emails more than the newspaper, sorry for the leave of absence!
