seeing the country

Well in the last 2 days we have traveled over 2000 kms. It was a lot of driving for a few meetings. The meetings went well. One of the places we stopped was Bitburg. It was a very cute town and it was really great. The food was really good and cheap. So good. Hans and I had 2 beers each and a dinner each and it was about 22 Euros. So good. While we were there we had some Bitburg beer. Hans told me that it takes 7 minutes for them to pour the beer. We were the only 2 people in the restaurant so that was good. I have no idea what the do when it gets busy. The Beer was pretty good. I do not know if it was worth 7 minutes but it was good. Just crazy.

While we were there We are the World came on and it is just brilliant. It still makes me think about all of those starving kids in Ethiopia when I hear it. I used to watch the beta tape (not VHS we were one of 5 people that had beta) of it. We recorded off HBO when it was on. I know that they remade it with new stars this year, but if it does not have Dan Aykroyd than it is no good.

The hotel we stayed in was very nice but the internet was really crazy. The internet worked but only for google sites and a couple others. I could not figure out what worked and what did not. So that is why there was no post yesterday. Al Gore if you could look into this and get back to me that would be great.

For the whole drive we saw one Porsche and one Bentley. We saw them within 5 minutes of each other. Yes, it is crazy driving in Germany and everyone follows the rules. No passing on the right, drive the speed limit (when there is one). It is the reason why the roads are safe. People follow the rules. Off to country #14 tomorrow at Austria which should be a great time. There will be pictures. I promise. More to come.
