so that's why I remember that you lived in Germany. No, not interested in learning this version of German either. We're planning our escape from this outrageously priced country (Italy) so that we can save for our retirement in a decade or so. In fact, we're going to dinner in Germany tonight so we can get a decent priced meal with portions that satisfy my husband, ha. We want to move to Italy next.

I can't chat right now. Have a great weekend. Cheers! Ciao.
