Bike, Bike, Babz!!!

Well, we´re using German computers, and the y and z are reversed, and Erik is going crayz watching me mix them up as I tzpe. So I´m not going to fix them anzmore.

Anzwaz, we got bikes!!!

Definetlz the most stressful part of this trip was not knowing if that was actuallz possible, but we spent most of the daz zesterdaz visiting five different second hand bike shops before we found the perfect ones. Thez´re not prettz, but thez´ll get the job done, and we´re prettz excited about it.

We´ve got to get going, but highlights so far have included sharing a couchette on the night train with four kids going to Ulm to do an exchange. Thez didn´t sleep, so neither did we. Well, thez slept for a bit after Erik told them to ´ferme ta gueule´(his first French insult).

Oh, and beer and sausages. The sausage record that was set zesterdaz bz Erik was 11. He´s a bit behind todaz, but I´m sure he´ll catch up. And 1L glasses of beer that cost less than a half pint in Paris. And I got made fun of bz a table of older German ladies at the beergarten this morning because I was onlz drinking a pint, not a litre. Thez all had their full litre steins, although some had to use two hands to get them to their mouths.

It´s a great life.
