A walk through Eulenbis

(F) Today I shook hands with a former Nazi soldier. His name was Herman. At least I think that is what he said. Nat and I were testing out our new baby back pack and we ran into the guy who was coming home from the local Burgerhouse (town hall) where he played bingo. He started talking to Lil K and that is when Nat and I started talking to the guy. It was hard to understand him but he told us he was a POW for three years and a soldier for 17. Anyways I was pretty floored. He seemed nice enough :-).

We really got to see a lot of the town we live in here, and we finally found the Owl House, or the Eulenkof as it is called here. It is an old Tower that was built in the 1800's. I think the migratory owls nest there...that is about all I could figure out. The town has two restaurants and a bevy of shops that were closed (it was pretty late) and so Nat and I will have to go back to figure out what they sell.

Well that is all for now...we will write more later. Take care.
