Today was just about as adventurous as the first! We woke up quite early this morning. We took a long walk (about 35 minutes) to the BX to look around. We met our friends for lunch then headed to the post office to check out our new p.o. box. The post office is located on Ramstein, so we had to head off Vogelweh base and to the other.
Every GPS we've heard of has its flaws. Usually the drive between bases is about 5 minutes--10 at the most. We decided to follow the GPS directions. We saw beautiful countryside and picturesque scenes! Then 45 minutes later we found the post office.
Alas, the sign on the door said they were closed for federal holidays and weekends, but it didn't say they would close for random base down days. My dad would love it here! We found our box and a bunch of mail stuffed in it, but no way to open it. We will have to go back on Monday.
We then went to look at a townhouse for rent. It was beautiful with a courtyard and a stunning view of mountains. We prefer to live in a little village away from the busy Americanized city. This was exactly the location we want! The downside is that the place is HUGE! It was 223 square meters (2400 sq. ft.). Each room was enormous and we wished we could get it, but the heating bills! We will have to keep looking.
We ate at a German restaurant for dinner. The menu was in German. We had strussel! Yummy! It was a wonderful evening. The weather is gorgeous and perfect.
(This was the total bill for 4 people)

I'm so happy you updated your blog already! I'm trying to imagine how cool it is there, but I know my imagination does not do it justice. Keep up the blog posts! I want to know every little mundane detail because it doesn't SOUND mundane to me! :D And take some pics of the mountains and countryside! I want to see.
