So, this week was the first Diensreise (business trip) that I have had with Elisa and the girls here.  They seem to have made it ok without me for a few days.  The trip though was difficult.  Not being a native speaker is a major setback.  It seems that every day I get better at understanding and speaking, but after 4 months there can be complete conversations that go by where I have no idea what is being said. 

Luckily I have good people to work with that are able to help me out.  

The really bad part about the trip was a HORRIBLE hotel that we stayed in.  Smelly rooms and sandpaper towels were the highlights of a hotel remodeled in the 70s.  I am sure it was great back then, but now it is a leftover and not fit for humans.  Especially those who are away from home for the good of their company.

Anyway, I am also working on the website to get it in shape... but I have not put any pictures up in a month.. this is due to problems with the server.  Hopefully I reach my system admin and he can fix it.

Bye for now...
