The first view from the Luxembourg border of the rolling pastures of my Oma´s homeland, Germany. I stopped at the first Imbiß that I saw and managed to speak somewhat intelligibly to someone in a foreign language in placing my order, which was a new experience. The Germans have been the friendliest and most helpful of all. For example, I do not even need to ask for directions in this country- if I am even looking at a map looking slightly confused someone will come up and ask if they can help. Dang I´m glad I was a German major. (8/14/04)
