Just doesn't go with my leather and western decor here in the desert, lol. I have a chimney sweep that peeks out of the chimney. Glad you're playing tourist, the day WILL come when you'll be off for another region. I have my Titisee cuckoo packed in a box *sigh*.

UGH -- I have mentioned I can't spell right?). I would have had a hard time resisting the gnomes :0) I'm also seriously jealous of the rides on the sled thingy. Wooo Hooo!

So, when are you guys moving and where?? Are you actually going to get a posting in the US? If so I would love to know how. Kyle and Melissa chose to stay in Landstuhl for another tour and, of course, now Kyle is being sent to Iraq. It was risk Iraq or go back to Minot.....sheese, what a choice.

But, you remember the joke - you come to Germany and go home with a baby, a cuckoo clock or a divorce. The clock is by far the cheapest and easiest to live with. When it starts driving you nuts, just don't wind it. We got one our first tour. No clue where it has gone, but it is not missed. Yeh – been here tooo long.

Cuckoo clocks sure have changed from the ones I used to see in my relatives homes! What a fun weekend! Take care.

Even if I don´t have that sort of decoration belive it must be very difficult to find the rigt one. For all lovers of that clock: you find them easyly on german ebay ;-) Greetings from karlsruhe, Sonja it is so funny for me to see how a foreigner sees germany.

On a different note: my husband plans on taking us to the same rodelbahn this summer, seeing as he now lives in the Black Forrest for work, coming home on the weekends. But: when will you be leaving? Will I still get my postcard workshop? If you still haven’t seen enough Kuckucksuhren, you can go to Wiesbaden to check out the world’s biggest cuckoo clock just off Wilhelmstrasse.
