Today we are off to Nuremburg. For those of you who don´t know the significance of this destination, prepare for a very brief history lesson:
After World War Two, the Allied forces (Great Britain, USA, etc.) rounded up the Nazis who commited war crimes (very bad things). They brought them to Nuremburg. In Nuremburg they faced a military trial to figure out if they were innocent or guilty and what the punishment should be.
Learning part done.
Recent events in our lives:
-We went grocery shopping. This was an experience for a few different reasons. One: Everything was, obviously, in German. We don´t know German. Two: Amy discovered she needed to specify COOKED ham when she ordered it. That could have been bad. Three: We still aren´t too good with our numbers. When we pay, it´s like we´re playing a game on the price is right: How close can you get to the actual price without going over? Usually we win, sometimes the cashier just sits there with her hand out, waiting for more money.
-Amy went to a ballet type performance. Apparently it was very modern--aka, no tu-tu involved.
-Craig is slowly learning some German words, but promptly forgets most of them within two minutes.
-Apparently German mailmen are very trusting. A neighbor was out, so he gave us one of their packages for them to pick up from us later. A note of this was dropped in their mailbox.

It sounds like you're very trusting of the grocery workers. They might be sticking their hand out to see how much you will give them, and they will pocket the difference.... It reminds me of playing "store" when I was a kid. Trying so hard to count the money and do the math.... It sounds like you all are adjusting well!
