Hallo os Deutschland

I'm in Karlsruhe hanging out with Toby and Bridget and having a blast.  I am having a nice relaxing morning at T&B's house.  Toby is at work (I wonder if he will get bored at work and read this before I see him tonight?) and Bridget and Fran (also visiting from Calgary) are on their way to Paris right now.  I'm going to head to Heidelberg today and see a castle, but right now I'm kind of loving sitting and sipping coffee.

I think I am over my jetlag now....knock on wood.  I probably slept about 45 minutes on the plane "overnight" (Europe overnight, that is - early evening Calgary time).  Yes, my obsession with Calgary time continues.  These guys here did a good job of keeping me awake until that night.  I felt pretty good all day, if a little spacy.  At one point I was doing dished using two washing things, a scrubber on a stick and a sponge.  I looked down and one point and realized I was washing the scrubber with the sponge rather than any dishes.  Oh, and I also put salt in my coffee, but I think that was just me being daft.  I'll blame jetlag anyway.  It made perfect sense to me that there would be sugar in a plastic container and overflow sugar in a smaller one.  Smrt.  

I have loads of story's and more about Day 1 and 2, but they are going to have to wait until after Day 3, Heidelberg.  I'm heading out on foot (okay, I'm taking a train too) - but nicht bike (yes, I know that's not right - but this is how much German I know).  Yesterday I rode for 5 hours or so and today I am giving my butt a break.  I should have spend a bit more time with my Assmaster3000 before I left!

Great to hear from you in Germany. Hi to T & B from us! Just think if Bridget's name was Amanda or Ashley you could be in Europe hanging out with T&A!

Forget Amanda and Ashley . . . if Toby's name was Peter or Patrick, you could be in Europe hanging out with PB&J. Surprised Lindsay didn't think of that one, given her peanut obsession.
