The Aerie
Having a wonderful time in Germany, wish you were here.
Our host family is wonderful, very friendly and accomodating. We couldn't be luckier.
Issues with electrical power have slowed the addition of photos, but the first set is uploaded now. I brought two AC power adapters and two power strips: Yesterday my primary power strip shorted itself out somehow and took the AC adapter with it. The second AC adapter works poorly: when I plug the laptop into it, the laptop power adapter gives off an unnerving hissing buzz. Since the stores are closed today, Sunday, the onlY way to recharge the laptop was to use the car adapter that I only decided to bring at the very last second.
Add to this the difficulty of getting my pictures off the camera (a process I mistakenly thought I had working before we left) and, well, it took a while to get everything working.
But now it is! So here is our first set of photos, first of our hosts and later in the collection of Castle Wolfstein, which is the 'local, neighborhood' 13-th century castle. Our hostess used to play in the ruins as a child.
