We got our Internet restored just a few days ago, so we will start adding some entries to get everyone back up to speed on our lives. There is so many things to share - Kleenex, cheese, square dancing, Herbstmesse, but rather than do one big long entry, we will break it into a series of posts. Delynn and I think we have figured out why so many people think that German is such a difficult language. Take for example the following (please forgive the pixel-ation):
This 42-letter compound noun is an actual picture from and actual business in Basel, Switzerland. Now, while this may seem daunting to read, just forget trying to pronounce it! I think it works out to about nine syllables that tell us that it is a Christmas shop that specifically has jewelery and other Christmas furnishings. Whew - gotta love this place!
