cleaning the kittchen since yesterday there is a lot of time for indulging in memories
.........and the wildlife! We saw deers bigger than the horses back home, elks, mousse,bissons and sealions, even whales.
Starting in the desert at 4a.m. to avoid the heat we had to drive zigzag as there where dozens of rattlesnakes on the pavement waiting for the sun.
A ranger showing the children a nest of baby snakes and I was the only one worried about the whereabout of the mother.
Feeding ducks in Giorgia ended after a minute with trowing the whole bag of old bread, grabbing the children and running for the RV because we were surrounded by bisam rats the size of pigs.
That was also were careless people trew old tyres into the bushes. Never forget comming closer and the "tyres" started moving.
Then these countless little animals feeding under the table what the children had dropped at dinner. This was one of the great things about travelling: hardly any housework, barbeque allmost every day and the cleaning up was done by racoons.
We met a lot of tremendously helpful snowbirds, some with the most stunning RVs we have ever seen. Most of the time we had by far the littelest car.
After the trip we shipped the RV to Switzerland (shipped it back a year later). First thing the licensplates got stolen and then we almost starved on a trip to Austria: there was hardly a Restaurant or a shopping center with a big enough parking lot for us to enter! After two and a half years in the US we had forgotten that back home EVERYTHING was much smaller.
Of course I had problems at the beginning with the language as I was not as fluent as my husband.
I never forget the man who could not understand why on earth I wanted to clean beacon - was looking for a vacuumcleaner.
Or the face of the lady when I ordered a pissass pizza - what a word is pizzazz anyway!?
Or trying to explain that I was looking for bucket with a certain sercumference. Also such a terrible word, what should a bucket have to do with a conference?
I decided that circumsized fitted much better: circum like circle and size, I did want a certain size didnt I!?
oh God.......I could go on for ever
