We Made It!!!

We made it! Well, actually, we made it yesterday but I was too tired to write anything about it. Oh! it's beautiful here and the weather so far is perfect! It is actually 430 in the morning right now and I'm sitting outside on the terrace (in my pj's) sipping kaffee listening to the birds. For a city it is so quiet where we're at. No sounds of sirens and no loud mouthed party animals keeping us up all night long. I should know, because we had the windows open all night and I've been up since 2am, thank you jet lag. lol

Speaking of that, the flight over went well and Copper made it safely, despite all the flight attendants constantly calling him Cooper. :) Going through customs was a breeze, all of our worries were unneccessary. The customs officer barely looked at our paperwork. Copper sure was happy to see us again!! Right now he's cuddled up on a blankie, dreaming of bones, I'm sure.
Our hotel room is amazing! It's huge! They even set up a place for Copper. They gave him bowls, a super comfy blankie that he loves, and some treats. And they even gave us a supply of *ehem* baggies with scooper. D. commented that they must only have small dogs in Germany.... the scooper isnt quite big enough for Copper's business. ha! ha! Anyway, back to the room, the beds are supper comfy - even the sofa bed that the boys are sleeping on. There's a separate bedroom for D. and I. The kitchen is cute, no stove but there's a microwave, and of course a mini bar with tons of over-priced temptations. The shower, the down-fall of many-a-rooms, has officially passed my test. ;)

I'm so happy to be back in Europe... though the English would argue they are, in fact, NOT Europe. This lifestyle, stop and smell the roses and have a glass of wine (or in my case, at the moment, glass of water), this is what I love. Granted we got reminded very quickly that personal space is very different over here than it is in America haha! but that's just another thing we have to get used to again. :)

We havent had a chance to try much for food yet. We were all so tired last night so D. ran across the street to a gas station and brought back some panini sandwiches and chocolate milk. Oh my gosh they were so good!!! and that's from a gas station!! ROFL! I nearly forgot how good these sandwiches are over here. They use butter on the bread instead of mayonnaise and cucumbers instead of pickles but it tastes so fresh and crisp. Yum! The chocolate milk was to die for! I think they just took a milk chocolate bar, melted it, and put it in a bottle. haha! I feel silly talking about gas station food like it's som sort of gourmet feast but compared to what you might get in an American gas station, I suppose it is! :)

Well I think I might make myself another cup of kaffee - even though I probably shouldnt- and sit out here a little while longer until everyone else starts to wake up.
