Germany: The first few days

More details and photos will come later, but here is an overview of our first few days.
  • Muriel is much happy in the car seat after adjusting the car seat straps to account for her not being a newborn
  • Leaving the camera battery charger at home is a bad idea, especially if the batter wasn't full when you leave the house
  • Muriel likes McDonald's french fries
  • German hospitals are efficient
  • German medical bills are lower than anticipated
  • 2 adults and 3 kids are a tight squeeze into our 2 bedroom mobile home
  • Emily, and maybe I, disagree with Rick Steves on the best castle in Europe
  • It can be very cold in the mornings
  • Swiss hot chocolate is better than German hot chocolate.
  • Germans make excellent sausage.
  • Paying for washing and drying machines is a good way to use up 5 trips worth of smal coins.

  2. I do hope you didn't have any serious reason to test out German hospitals efficiency and bills!
