On the Bus to Nowhere?

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

We spent a lot of time riding hither and yon.  Looking out at Castles, Gausthaus’s, rivers and everything else.  Not sure what John was looking at but it may have been big.  Or it could just have been Peters growing pin collection.

Peter ever ready with the Pins wastes no time in getting down to business and gets to know the locals and what they have to offer.

While we were all new to Germany, some of looked like we had been here before.

Arrival

Monday, March 10th, 2008

My memory of the beginning of our trip to Germany was Mr Miller’s wife stating the three sentences that everyone must know.  Wo is die toiletten?  Ein Bier bitte and danke.  I am guessing on the third one, I am positive on the first two.   The flight was long, the music on the headset seemed to repeat I want Money by the flying lizards over and over again.  Landing in Frankfurt we were greeted by guards holding machine guns and German sheppards.  Welcome to the cold war.  It was 1980. It was a blur.

Dave was all action, grabbing bags and running for the bus. 

Some of us checked out the airport.

And others were happy to pose for pictures.
Peter was ready to trade pins having brought the Lake Placid 80 Olympic pins along for the ride.
