You know that you are in Germany when...

... the car ride from the airport to home that usually takes 2 hours, only takes 1 1/2 hours - courtesy of the Autobahn without speed-limit and a fast driver:)

... you and your husband sleep in two separate twin beds next to each other with a small space in between...

... you walk down the street, smiling at people, and they don't smile back. (Mostly true - and sad - but my people really can be very friendly and warm, but not easily to strangers... sorry, my island boy!)

... you get told to be at the post office no later than 3pm to send off a package on your first day back (for Nathalie's birthday, which is tomorrow!) and when you get there you find out that it is closed from 12pm-3pm. You go back home and come back just before 3pm. Several people are outside the post office in the cold waiting for it to open up. The church bell rings and at that exact second, the key turns and IT OPENS! Are we on time or what?!

... when you drive into the small town and you read a sign that says they are celebrating 750 years as a town!!!
