Our 1st outing in town.

June 26, 2010



For our 1st outing in town we went to downtown Bamberg and walked around. It was a Sunday so everything was closed but on that particular day Germany was playing in the World Cup so there were a few shops and pubs open. They all had large tvs out side so that anyone that wanted to watch was more than welcome. they also had a LARGE screen put up in the town square to watch the game. It was really neat.

Also on that day the family and I tried our very 1st Doner, well except for John he has already tried it. It is makes me think of the Gyro. the meat is cut while it is up on this pole. It comes served with white & red cabbage, a special sauce and onions. You can have red pepper on it but I can't handle the hot. We all loved it well except for Sean but a few days later he ate one with just cheese on it, well goat cheese and he liked it.

Today we are heading out on this Sunday to find an Italian restaurant. so until later list afternoon.

Our new adventure!

We have joined the Army Family and have moved from Gastonia, North Carolina to Bamberg, Germany. It has been quite a jump from small town USA to a continent that I can't read the street signs or understand what the people on tv are saying.
We left North Carolina on June 22, 2010, from Charleston, South Carolina and arrived in Frankfurt International Airport, Germany on June 23, 2010. It was a long flight but the kids did great. We had an overnight flight. So they sleep most of the way.
So now we are here and are in military housing on base. We got very lucky and have a townhouse, where most people on post live in the apartments(half the size of what we have). We have a 3 story with a basement. 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. There are a few things that I miss from the states(some are trivial): the sprayer for the kitchen sink, carpet and A/C! other than that it is really nice here.
