      I went to Germany every year for 15 years and I could never find Dr. Pepper. 😢 It was nice that your first day home was sunny. Nice to see Fabian, too. Back in the late 1970’s, my late husband and I always saw the famous Venice Beach guitar player you spoke to. I’m so happy to see that he is still rockin’! Those were some of our happiest memories roller skating. I still have my Chicago skates purchased right there on the boardwalk.

      That bottle cap is in all EU countries.
      I guess it’s a plastic waste thing, like plastic straws. It’s on everything. Water, Juice, soda, milk, yogurt…if it’s got a cap, it’s this one.
      Worst idea ever. Surely not made for useability.

We chose the German language because we plan to visit Germany. It is good for your brain to learn another language. Also I am so glad to see that your mother is doing great.Du bist gut sohn.

    Lived right there in the 80s , go back from time to time.
    Made my last trip 2020. What a difference over tje years is all I can say. If changes are not made in leadership I can't imagine what will be in few years.
    Beautiful state , good people.
    Bad leadership.
    Would love to see more from Germany.

You sir have what I think a large portion of "Americas citizens" do not share. See I consider you more American then many people born here and I (we) appreciate your respect for our country... if I could anoint you as an American I would, thank you GIA for your love of our country and we love you

    I enjoy learning the differences between Germany and America. Personally, I think more Americans need to learn what we have here so we can appreciate things a little more. Even things like the cap coming off of the soda bottle.
