Hi from Solingen!

Sorry no pictures!  We are with the Familie Ackermann in Solingen and we are having a nice, relaxing time.  We enjoyed Darmstadt with the Knorz family (Kat's family); B&K were able to see a horse show during our three days there.  We also traveled to the Odenwald to Erbach which is an old village all decked out for Christmas!

We also stopped into Vlotho to visit Birgit's family and that was such a special time ... their house was so nice and cozy and they were so very kind to us!  

After our 5 trains in one day Monday, we have just been chillin' in Solingen and hopefully we will see Duesseldorf today and Wuppertal tomorrow before we hit Koeln on Friday, then home to Muenchen on Saturday.  Then we have a few days to recover, pack stuff for home, pack stuff for Wien, and get the apartment clean before we go wheels up to the USA!

11 days to go ... missing you all very much!!
