Where Chocolate Fears to Tread . . .

Germany is great for lots of reasons. Porsches, bratwurst, lederhosen, doenner kebaps, cobblestone streets, old churches, and chocolate, to name a few. But, this post goes out to the chocolate. It’s great, and we eat a lot of it. Janae wasn’t nearly as big of a chocolate fan as Josh at home, but now everyday when Josh comes home from work there’s one more wrapper and one less chocolate bar waiting for him. It’s nice to have so much support when it comes to buying chocolate at the store, but the competition is . . . well, we just have to buy more chocolate these days.

On a different note, we recently purchased our tickets for our travels once Josh is done with work. We decided to go to Athens, Paris, Rome, and Venice. Athens was a bit of a surprise for all of us, but Janae has always wanted to go. When it looked like a possibility, Josh started "googling" stuff about Athens, and there was no going back. So, Athens it is. We're excited about Paris too because at first it didn't look like we would be able to fit it in while we're here, but the tickets worked out great from Athens. And, we've been looking forward to Rome and Venice all along. We fly out from Berlin on Aug. 4, so after that the posts may not be quite as frequent until we get back into Leipzig on Aug. 15. We'll do our best to keep everyone informed about how the trip is going. Should be lots of fun.
