Wir brauchen noch 2-3 Monate, bis wirklich alles eingerichtet ist, denke ich. Danach, gerne! (Übrigens – ich habe gerade ein Paar weiteren Bilder in Picasa hochgeladen).

Comment on Tranquilo by John

Yes – we thought everything was going so well. When I first discovered the error, I was extremely upset; but now we have reached a good solution. And I think the electrician and the architects are as embarrassed that it happened as I was originally annoyed!

This is only the second error we have had, so I can’t complain (the other one is that one of the wooden columns in the middle of the house is about 15cm from where it should be).

What an ordeal! In the end, it sounds like any “Handwerker” story, which people share all over the world.

But what a setback when things should have been fairly finished. Hang in there!

Great weather in Spain – I came back to Germany for a few days today. It was about 20°C in Xàtiva during the day, and here today it was about 5°C. Brrrr.

Comment on Kronberg is not Frankfurt by John

Thanks for confirming that, Maria!

Comment on Kronberg is not Frankfurt by Maria S.

Kronberg is definitely not Frankfurt.

The triangle of Kronberg- Königstein- Oberursel stands for affluence (see real estate prices), whereas Frankfurt is really low on that same list.

This area of Germany, so close to the hub, is very unusual. So much nature AND the skyline.

Comment on Good timing Amazon by John

I don’t know if you have ever had a problem with something bought at amazon, but the customer service is simply amazing.

I have had 2 or 3 times when I have had a problem, and the customer service were always very quick, fair and helpful in sorting out the problem.

I think the most impressive was when i bought a kindle that wouldn’t register to me. I called their hotline, was asked to run a series of tests which they monitored remotely. The kindle was pronounced “defective” and a replacement arrived 2 days later by courier, before I had returned the original one via UPS to the USA at their expense. You can’t beat that!

I love Amazon!

As I work from home, I enjoy the convenient shopping and deliveries.

Got an invite from them to add their amazon.es banner to my blog, but have not made a decision yet.

Comment on The Oktoberfest has already begun… by Maria S.

Good idea!

We should at least meat up for a Maß Bier German style before you head out.

We could meet at “Zum Adler” in Oberursel and sit at the table where the Red Baron used to have his sundowner.

I bet, with all this house-building and moving business, you have not made it there yet. Right?
