Played in the park with the kids this morning. Have been looking at used cars online for the local area. Today we bought a BMW! It is 15 years old but in very good condition. People maintain their cars very well here. Like with their houses, property, etc, they take pride in maintaining their cars. But, the good thing is that the used car market is very good here and the prices are better than in the states. A couple of days of paperwork and registration to follow and then we will be on our way in our own car.
We have plans to visit Trier, Germany this weekend. It is the oldest city in Germany. Looks like a great place to visit for a view of medieval times. Trier was founded in 16 B.C. supposedly by the emperor Augustus himself. In the 3rd and 4th centuries it was an imperial seat and capital of the Belgica prima province. It has a gigantic Roman gateway into the city called the Porta Nigra. Pictures to follow. We have been working on getting internet at our apartment to make posting easier. I am trying out a vodafone stick tonight to see if we can get mobile internet. Otherwise we have to be at Zeb's or a hotspot to post.
Until next time....
