we napped when we got to the charming cottage that we get to call home while we are here. walked to a local street party and i had my first german bier. we went to downtown wiesbaden for dinner at a persian restaurant.  lots of new and different things to sample including vibrating and gyrating belly dancer. more german bier. schnapps. more walking around. picture taking. we saw the world's largest coo coo clock. the opera house. cobbled streets. then back home. wine and a yummy evening with martha.

i have recovered and recovered quickly...it's strange to me that the girls are having a much harder time with it. chelsea woke at 3am and could not go back to sleep which kept raven awake. i on the other hand slept like a log. as i do!  so, this morning i am slightly hung over and the girls are just plain tired.

more to come.
