Well, we have been traveling extensively the last 3 days which makes it hard to find time or a place to jump on the internet. Also, the older couple we stayed with in Bunde, Germany (Bini and Frederic) had a beautiful home decorated in a very chic 70s motif and the technology in their home was no different. We couldn't exactly communicate to them what we were looking for since Jennie only speaks a little German, Bini spoke very little English, and Frederic didn't speak any. In our credit, however, we did perfect one universal communication tool which I will call the "smile and nod" approach. It goes a little like this, "(insert German words here), ja?" smile and nod thoughtfully. See how it works?!?!
Anyway, we had a great time in Bunde and Bini and Frederic we're very generous in opening their home to us. It's comforting to see that the tradition of food being the most important tool in hospitality is still the rule in Germany! I think we spent a majority of our time at their home around a table eating! It was wonderful!!
