Kool!
Like Mannheim, Heilbronn is about 1/2 way twixt Franfurt & Stuttgart, east of Heidleburg. In the Baden-Wurtenburg region.
I am hopeing by either the end of this year or Spring next year I will be able to go back to Heilbronn.
I love the fresh breads at the Bakeri and the wonderful meats @ the metzgeri. I peek into the webcam every day in Heilbronn to feel connected as well as chat w/ my childhood friend, Irmgard. We have been BFF for 45 years...wow! when did we get "old"? lol!
hugz & yes, do the blog....it makes it easy for friends & family to peek into your world.
Hugz,
Tusch! (sorry, no "Umlauts" on my keyboard.)

oh & if I recall, the Netherlands is a strong 6hr drive from Mannheim. Give a few stops to be a "tourist". lol! So maybe you & Marian could meet 1/2way for a day trip....wouldn't that be kool! Or take the Euro train... Essen is maybe the 1/2way point...
Lucky you to be there....
I have to laugh, the last time I was there, I just purchased cheap curl iron & blow dryer and then left them w/Irmgard instead of lugging them & converters in my suitcase...left more room for "stuff" to bring back State side. lol! I find it easier to just buy soap/shampoo/toothpaste etc then lugging it.

Grace,
Oh ok... neat! I LOVE the bakeries and the produce stands and markets the most!! I already bought my shopping basket and a wheelie one too! While we were in temporary housing I was like 2 blocks from a bakery and produce stand and LOVEDDDDD it!! I have yet to find one walking distance from my home  but I know there are some in the town near by.
That is great that you have a BF over here and that you have been friends for that long!! That sort of thing never makes me feel old... it is when kids I use to change diapers on send me pictures of their kids.... then I feel O-L-D  lol
Hugs N Tusch, (my puter doesn't either lol)
Talitha
PS I have to agree on the luging stuff!! That is smart!! And you can always get simple things at the Real or such
Thanks for the info on the drive...maybe we can do that one day... it would be neat to meet another farmgirl in person!
Hugs!!

Yeah I have been checking on Google Earth. The drive (I have no car) takes about 5 top 6 hours!! So maybe someday, meeting halfway...who knows!!
Trains go far so, maybe.....??
Hugs from Marian/Dutchy, a farmgirl from the Netherlands :)
