Americans | Germans |
Flip flops and jeans shorts are a summer staple. | No flipping or flopping here….Summer fashion features the Manpri aka |
Ford F-150 extra extended cab’s are used to pull heavy loads. | Livestock and hay bails are attached to Mercedes Bends Wagons. |
No Shoes No Shirt.....no service! | No Shirt....No problem. The bigger the beer belly the better….and they proudly show them off! |
Yards are an extension of the home...often littered with tools and toys. | “Gardens” are impeccably groomed and gnomes stand guard in beautiful flower gardens. |
Drive thru windows can be found around just about any corner. | Most stores have their own food truck parked outside to serve its patrons local meat and produce. The only fast food you can find is American (McDonalds, BK, and Subway) |
Beef....It's what’s for dinner | Pork, pork, and more pork |
Garages are usually big enough to house two cars and the boxes of stuff that you have been hording for the last 15 years. | Space is a commodity...therefore garages are (barely) big enough for one small car (with the side mirrors folded in). |
Once again it is the little things that have made the biggest difference and have made this journey all the more interesting!
*****P.S. Happy Birthday to one of the the best little sisters in the world! I love you Candace!*****

Maybe I do need to move to Germany! I'd have to get rid of my stash before I came, and there wouldn't be any room to collect any more! Hard to believe that we'll be there in 2 weeks! Can't wait! Love you more! Mom
