Thursday morning we went to the Alien Affairs office, with mixed results (well, Soenke would not say the results were mixed… he would say they SUCKED). Apparently you have to be penniless & from a third world country to be welcomed with open arms into Germany. A self-supporting, economy-boosting US citizen has a lot more red tape to cut. We’re working on it!
Thursday evening we flew to Frankfurt, & met with Patrick & Ozelem at their apartment. We went to dinner at this very cool German restaurant somewhere out in the hills/forest. The food was DELICIOUS. And the company was very enjoyable; we were by far having the most fun of anyone in the restaurant! Plus there was a little wiener dog with a red neckerchief running around the restaurant checking on everyone. Nice touch.
Friday I used my new status on the Lufthansa ‘list’ to fly to Houston in business class for a mere 100 euros (THANK YOU SOENKE, xoxoxo). Upon my arrival in Houston, I was greeted by 3 very high energy flamingas !! What a reunion. Houston updates to come!
Here is the Frankfurt dinner group:
Here is Patrick & Ozelem’s very modern, high-tech apartment (complete with futuristic lighting!)
Why do we keep forgetting our cameras? Glad you continue to have fun. I’ll have to think about the “alien” situation and see what your options are.
