FYI...
On behalf of Kaley and myself, I would like to share some interesting facts that we have observed about Germanz thus far.
Disclaimer: Facts do not appear in order of importance, significance, level of stress/trauma, level of humour....not do they appear chronologicallz.
Fact: In Germanz, the z and the y are switched on the kezboard. We refuse to change our kezboarding skills.
Fact: There is a bike lane on everz German street which is prettz much indistinguishable from the pedestrian walk until zou hear a big loud bell and almost get run over. Zou must alwazs remember to check zour blindspot before crossing from the sidewalk to the bike lane.
Fact: It is easier and much more natural to say 'Hamburger' than 'Hamburg'.
Fact: It takes 509 steps to reach the top of the Dom in Koln.
Fact: Approximately 1 in 3 males in Germany looks like Dan Janzen and may quite possibly be a relative.
Fact: Lubeck, contrary to popular belief is not on the coast.....but the lovelz town of Travemund is.
Fact: It is next to impossible for both Kalez and Rachel to staz awake on a train or bus.
Fact: The train ride from Frankfurt to Koln is beautiful.
Fact: Irish men are insane and may actually be leprachauns.
Fact: Every German town does NOT in fact have a street named EinbahnstaBe, but in fact has 'one way streets' marked very well.
Fact: We are currentlz in Hamburg and leave tomorrow for the Harz Mountains then on to Berlin.
Fact: We miss zou all. If zou don't know who zou are, zou will soon find out.
Feel free to email for anz further details or clarifications cause weäd love to hear from zou!!
Rachel and Kaley

Sounds like you're having a great time....I'm extrememly jealous!
Please dont be EXTREMEMLY jealous....you had Africa remember?
Regarding the staying awake on the train or bus:... no, I won't go there!
I mentioned to several of my patients your approximate whereabouts; I promptly had a lesson in the correct way to pronounce the German city we call Cologne. It's a beautiful sunny day in Niagara. The bikes got their first work-out of the weekend this morning; now other chores call.
One month today!!
It's great to hear from zou! (I had to do it once.) I am a bit jealous of you guys (there is a part of me that would always like to be travelling and I've never seen Germany or any of the rest of the places you're going). Hopefully, you can post some pics soon, but the observations (facts) are just as good. Be safe and have fun!
Yeah, the last comment was me. I hit 'publish' too soon.

Jac - had a good weekend - The Hill was involved. Dan did not sing - no Karaoke:( - Danced up a storm at the Barfly :)- at the moment Whose Line Is It Anyway is on TV just to let you know(hahaha) - Will e-mail you about what happened between Dan/ Kam and Tony the Landlord (lets just say that Tony came to show the room to rent it - i laughted and laughted when i hear the story!!!).
