Happy Belated Earth Day!

Yesterday was Earth day, and I just found out that a major car company is designing an emissions-free electric vehicle to be available for sale in 2013.

Imagine, cars in big cities that don't emit harmful pollution, cars that don't make loud noise as they drive through the streets. A car that doesn't use gas to run, but could be plugged into Photovoltaic panels to be run on completely renewable energy. Not only will it be a step in the right direction, but it may even look good as it is being designed by BMW. This could be a great design. Now, if I can just convince my husband that it is a great investment for us.

I love getting visitors...A few weeks ago, one of our best friends, Chris, came to stay with us. We had such a great time showing him around Germany, teaching him German, and drinking good beer.

(Drinking our favorite beer at Andechs Monastery)

(Chris and I livin' the life in Dinkelsbühl.)

The next week Drew's Aunt and Uncle came for a two week stay at the Kreeger Inn. We took them to the Black Forest, France, and even skied in Switzerland. (One of the best days of skiing I've had!)

(Riding our bikes around Freiburg.)

(Rusty and Kellie on the Swiss-alps for the greatest day of skiing we've ever had.)

We will only be here for four more months, so if you're hoping to come to Germany...do it!
