We’ve moved on to Reidlingen now and we are staying in a very nice house. I’ve noticed here that most houses have multiple families living in the same house. Like the first house we stayed at had Monika’s aunt and uncle living in it as well as their adult son in an apartment on the second level. It seems like a more efficient use of space at least. That house had 3 levels plus a basement. Its just a different mindset than we have back home because we have so much land overall in Canada and here they have to make due with what they have. You never see new subdivisions going up all over the place like we do back home.
This house is a similar situation. Two people live on one level, their daughter and family live above them but its all part of the same house.
Italy won the world cup yesterday but I didn't hear any horns at all this time. We could have been in a non-Italy-liking-district or something. The people we are staying with were cheering for Italy though.
We went to see Lichtenstein castle yesterday. It is a small but beautiful castle that was used by the duke of something as his residence and now is privately owned by his decedents. We got a guided tour of it. Here’s a picsha!

Another postcard-worthy shot, Marc! These pics are great!

interesting about all the multiple family dwellings. we actually have that situation here too; they are called duplex's or triplex's, and you have to get approval from City to convert a single home that way. (the house at the end of the walkthrough that is for sale as a Duplex). Anyway, yeah I think the relatively more vast land spaces here makes for a different outlook.
So nice Castle picture ... it almost looks cosy ... for a castle that is. :-)
you sure are getting around to all the sites, eh!
I went golfing yesterday to that 9Hole course I took you and Mom several years ago (Waterloo Golf Academy). It actually is quite tough and tricky, and we all had a tough time,and lost golf balls. That probably wasn't the best to take you for your first outing!
looking forward to the next chapter on your adventure. "Hi" to Leanne.
Leanne says hi too and is very happy you remembered her name dad :) Not that you ever forget her name, she is just very excited. She also hit her head three times today so she might be a little crazy.
Hope you're o.k., Leanne!
