Kurzinfos

Just a little update...
I had a fine flight inbetween an overweight but kindly gentleman and a partially deaf but definitely not mute special olympics contestant from Slovenia or Croatia or somewhere. My bag was one of the first onto the conveyor which i though was auspicious and i got to my train platform on time. Due to the circumstances of my flight, i didn't sleep much as you might imagine and by this time (about 1230 in the afternoon in Germany, 530 in Arkansas) i was quite tired. German trains are punktlich. they are ontime to the tee. Mine was supposed to leave at 13:01. so, when a train pulled up at 12:52, i assumed that it was the right one and got on, passing obliviously by the signs on track, train, and inside the train that proclaimed this Zug bound for Munich. How dumb did I feel when I realized that the moving train I was on was not bound for Leipzig? Very. However, the beauty of the Germany train system is that there is always another train. So, all I had to do was get off at Mannheim, take the next train back to the Frankfurt airport, and get on the 14:11 train to Leipzig.
I also forgot to write down Dwane's number so I was hoping that I would recognize Annalisa, who was going to be at the train to get me. I didn't, but again, everything worked fine because I got to email everyone at home that I was safe while retrieving dwane's number from my email. Annalisa and Johnmark found me after I called Dwane and then Dwane arrived and we went to Elfi's which is where I'm staying. My bed is a loft =) I slept forever last night and now I'm at the Perry's house. I am revelling in the bread, public transportation and German language.
Bis später,
