A while back Jason, Ania, Kevin, and I went to dinner at Rheinlander's where I got a small goat charm with a beer that I drank. I attached it to my watch thinking it wouldn't last a week - it lasted 3 months. On the flight from the US I reminded Jason of the goat and jokingly added that I hoped to procure another one. Well, we went to the Ayinger brewery last night and guess what? The beer Jason ordered came with a goat charm! What a coincidence. Well of course the charm is safely on my watch and once again I feel whole. :-)
I added pictures to the slideshow and randomized them so you don't see the same ones all the time.
We picked up the BMW yesterday and it was a great experience. They took us through the design and manufacturing process, we learned all about the features of the car (tons more safety and other stuff that we had no ideas about), and toured the plant. We took it to get dinnner at Aying and it is a lot of fun to drive. Ok, enough about the car, I don't want to come across as braggin but I had to say something or it would seem suspicious.
Kevin also managed to track us down yesterday so we only need to find Drew in Genoa tomorrow and our little posse will be complete for the next couple of weeks. I have to admit I was a little worried about so much together time for Jason and I, but we have been getting along admirably with no problems. But, I am sure he is still glad to see his buddies (he and Kevin have been discussing sabbatical plans longer than I have known Jason).
I think Jason and Kevin will be doing some touring of their own today since they have both previously seen Munich, while I wander around the city today. Tomorrow we drive over the Alps to Italy.
One last note: even though my German is pretty rusty and I have forgotten a lot of vocab, it has been good to have it and I am very pleased with myself and my ability to communicate while here. And if just feels good to be able to hear it and speak it again.
Ta ta!!

...driving over the Alps:) That's where I want to be right now:) Also, that cappucino and beer look so so so good. Enjoy it!

P.S. Tell Jason to take some pictures of you!
We need at least a few pictures of the car, before one of you crashes it!
Yes, I want to see the "I got drunk at _______" (insert location here) pictures! But hopefully none of those in the new car :)
Glad to hear you are having a great time!
