I flew into Europe today, via Germany. Man, what an incredible place. The technology, the food... the BEER! haha, all of it seems better and more authentic than what I've grown up with in America. We certainly have some great things in America, and I'm proud to be an American, but I guess when you've only experienced one culture for most of your life, a new one can either be grotesquely different or seductively alluring. Right now, I'm allured :-) The streets, the people, the history, the Wiener Schnitzel... all of it is fantastic. More to come...
