Ok, cool thing about being in Germany - you don't have to jump through hoops to type an umlaut. It's awesome that it's just another key on the keyboard. Not cool thing about being in Germany is that every time you try try to type a Y, youd end up typing a Z because the Z is in the same place the Y is in on a n American keyboard and vice versa. You have no idea how many times I've hit backspace trying to type this paragraph.

No pictures today because weäre (some of the umlauts are also normal keys like parenthases and unparaenthases) in a hotel without free internet, but weäll have more tomorrow. Last night we got in and got standng room tickets for the Bavarian State Orchestra doing some really weird piano thing and Bruckner 7. Really a fantastic concert - I think the brass was a bit of a let-down for Trezy because it wasnät perferct, but when is everything perfect?

Today we spent doing some shopping, including a 2 hour detour getting Tony a special jersey from the FC Bayern München fan shop at the stadium and a couple of dirndls for me (2 for less than €200!) before meeting Heidi& Laslo for dinner and more drinks at the Augustiner Bierhalle. Trey found the good Augustiner Bierhalle that was out of the city center - the food and drink was all about 2/3 of the price (or less) of the one at the Marienplatz and it was a better atmosphere - and I think everyone liked it better anyway. :-)

Ok, thatäs enough for now because this Z and Y thing is driving me nuts! More tomorrow from Rüdesheim!
