A rotten Thursday!

[wondersofwine]

Foodie, your last paragraph is so true! Even though I worked for Americans while in Germany, and for the most part lived among Americans (in BOQ quarters at first but later in German appartments) I did travel enough and meet enough Germans and other nationalities to broaden my viewpoint. I'm a different person now due to those experiences. I'm also maybe more security conscious than some because I lived in Germany when the Bader-Meinhof gang (Red Army) were active and was aware of airport security in London due to IRA bombings.
