Going south where it's warm (hopefully)...
« on: August 22, 2006, 03:34:43 pm »
...that's what I'll do with my family. Yeehawww!
It's gotten awfully cold in Germany, so it looks like an extremely good idea to leave for a while. ;D
Our roadtrip starts tomorrow evening (German time). It'll be two and a half weeks with little to no internet access for me, which is good in a way. But, of course, I'll probably geht withdrawal symptoms...  ;)

I haven't packed anything yet. Gotta do that tomorrow. Sigh.

*Heul* Anke, is there any way you could manage a little detour to Palatinate and take me with you? I'm so sick of the cold, shitty (sorry) weather.
What in hell happened to August? August used to be a sommer month. But not this year >:(.

I wish you and your family a sunny, funny and relaxing trip. Come back safe. And please, bring some sun for Germany on your way back  ;).

Penthesilea,

You're in Rhein-Pfalz? My ancestral homeland ... 300 years ago.  ::)

Anke,
Have lots of fun in the sun and have a safe trip! Cause I want you in London safe and sound in the 16th alright?!  ;D And we are all expecting postcards, cause those letters are long over due! ;)



Avere una vacanza buona in Italia!

Penthesilea,

Jeff

Yes, I live in Rheinland-Pfalz.
300 years ago is too long for you to be called a "Pälzer" (=an inhabitant of Pfalz)  :laugh:
Many people from this area emigrated to the New World in former times. It was a poor and rural area. Still rural today.

Have a safe trip...though sitting here exhausted after sitting in traffic for 45 minutes in 103 F degree weather in a car with no air conditioner - and with no end in sight to the hot weather - makes me long for whatever cold weather you guys are experiencing.
