Must share this with you

From #1 Son-

"Today we met Pia's friend Lara and went to a the most popular candy shop in Germany, Haribo, and then saw a castle in Solingen, which is the fourth castle I've been to on this trip, and there we ate really good sugary waffels with cherries, and then we wnt to Lara's house by bus for lunch, and then we took the schreibahn (magical skytrain) to the main part of Wuppertal where we bought Ice Cream, and I also bought some chocalates for you and the family which may or may not contain traces of alcohol. The sky train is different from a monorail in that it is not magnetic but is an actual train upside down in the train tracks suspended in the sky and it is one of the safest things in the world. Then we went home and ate Pizza with Tuna on it that was quite good. I have also been learning how to ride a bike there because it is important to be able to do that in Europe. It has been tough but I am getting better. Pia loves strategy games such as chess and she is a really worthy oponent! My German is improving but I still cannot handle the rapid-fire german, but fortunately everyone speaks english near fluently. Send my Love to the Family!"

Proper post later when I stop laughing and crying.

Sounds like he's having a very good time. If he doesn't go into overload with all that sugar.

"one of the safest things in the world" He's SO thinking of you.

I'm taking it that you printed that one out for hard copy, to keep in a little treasure chest. Hmmm?
How funny! I'd say he might need new clothes too, but then he's young and male and active... he'll burn it all off.

[Mujercita]

Perhaps you may have to go on a shopping trip with him when he gets home- I don't think he'll fit in his clothes any more!

I definitely ate my way through Europe too, though. What's the point if you can't try all of the local cuisine? Sounds like he's having a great time!

This is the type of letter you save for a very long time without reminding him he wrote it. This one is too good! What an extra special treat it must have been to have received this "for your eyes only". What's the count down?

[Heather]

"A worthy opponent"? Too funny!!

Does he ever inhale? 'May or may not contain traces of alcohol' - too funny.

[Cookie]

He takes after his Crazy Aunt Cookie. He's eating his way through Europe. *L*

Forget the booze chocolate! Where's the yarn?! ;^)
