* Almost EVERY song you hear on the radio is American pop rock? Like 96.9...
* Germany is 9 hours later than Arizona time?
* You have to PAY to use the most public bathrooms?
* Simon Nowotny is coming to Arizona in August? (Is he nuts!?!?)
* I didn't know how to flush the toilet in my bathroom, and had to ask Miriam to show me? (They have this silver rectangle on the wall, and mine wasn't behind the toilet, but on the left! So I didn't even consider it! I was so embarrased!)
* David Nowotny reminds me a WHOLE lot of my son Aaron!! :)
* I have tried over 10 different apertif or digestives? (The alcohol you drink before or after dinner) Cognac, Sherry, Prosecco (a champagne), Coconut Kiss (Caribbean), Rotweinheffe (this one could put HAIR on your chest, as my daddy used to say!!) (Germany), Campari, Ouzo (Greece), Lemonis (Italy), Caipirinha de Brazil, Grappa, and a couple of more that I forgot to write down!

Thanks for all the compliments and nice words about our family! :-)But I can only return them! You were the most easy going and funny guest, or rather family member, we could have asked for. We had such a great time during all our activities that the four weeks went by like four days...
ReplyDeleteI'm missing you already and counting the days until you come back next year!
Love Miriam (and Max)
