Just enough to say hey

Geez, been such a long time since I threw up an update that I almost forgot what this website looked like. I’m alive and I’m doing well but have just been on the road for the past nine or ten days gallivanting throughout all of Germany that I haven’t had time or energy to post a decent update. So I have my work cut out for me now.

Basically almost two weeks ago I went from Berlin in the very northeast diagonally across the country to the very southwest to small town called Freudenstadt which is deep in Germany’s famous Black Forest. Then from there over to Munich and stayed there for the weekend and took in some fun Oktoberfest action. From Munich I shot up to Nuremberg for a day and then over to Stuttgart that same night. After Stuttgart we rolled over to Dusseldorf then up to a cute, charming, and relatively small town called Einbeck for two days. After Einbeck it was on to Hamburg and then finally back to Berlin on Friday. You get all that? It’s a whirlwind and yes, it is as tiring as it sounds. The report that we’re doing is featuring companies across a range of industries so unfortunately our meetings aren’t centralized in any one city. But life on the road has its perks – great hotel breakfasts; exquisite samplings of regional beers; daily German lessons taught by our GPS; and pretty views of Germany’s fall colored landscapes.

More updates to come over the next few days as I post updates in bits and pieces rather than one painfully long entry. Just wanted to put up a little something for now that’s just enough to say hey.

I leave you with a mini German lesson of two very useful things to know which will avoid a lot of confusion when coming to Germany. There are plenty of signs for each one on the road and in many cities:

Gute fahrt = have a nice ride!

Schmuck = jewelry
