Yep, the Peeps are in Germany -- the first stop in our 7-week European adventure.
We arrived in Bad Vilbel (town just north-east of Frankfurt) after a 23-hour journey that consisted of a car service, three airplanes, a bus and a rental car. Said car being manual transmission, but more on that later.
After getting only three hours of sleep last night (jet lag is not our friend right now), I am too tired to write anything very coherent, so let's stick to photos for now.
Tegut, the local grocery store. Practically every piece of produce is organic here, and the prices are great. Bought the standard traveling fare of fruit, bread, pasta and cheese, plus a frozen pizza at the kids' request : )
First dinner in our cozy kitchen, which William described as "half the size of my bedroom." Yes, it's a tight squeeze (I am actually sitting on the countertop to take this photo), but the meal was good and the company was better.
Our apartment is in a fantastic location, just a few minutes' walk from everything. Indira loves this statue/fountain -- probably because the stone kids are just her size.
We found the local toy store on our first night, but it was closed. We returned today and were not disappointed. Here, William stands in front of the Lego display. Only drawback: the saleslady followed us around as if we were going to steal something.
I look pretty bland and boyish next to a figurine of Lara Croft, Tomb Raider. She must have had those boobs done in California.
The park just down the street from our place has an amazing "hammock swing" which makes you feel like a bird sitting on its nest. William and Aislinn push each other on it so high, they have to hold on for dear life or they will fall out. It's our favourite local attraction : )
