Riding a vierrhad (four cycle)

Today I took Tara out for a ride today, we had a lot of fun with her trying to get around, Nate taught her the three point turn and she was perfecting her skills today. She ate her first sandwich a few days ago, this makes lunch a whole lot easier! I found a shop that sells cheddar cheese, this was my excitement for the day :) We decided to take a walk at 5 after work, Tara rode her bike down a considerable hill, she seemed to hesitate only slightly when Nate was not close enough, I hope she has her moms love for a daredevil descent.
Shopping is getting easier, we still don't get out of the way quickly enough. They set it up so that there is no room to pack your groceries at the end of the turnstyle. I think they set it up this way because most people buy one or two things(there are no baggers), but we have not figured out how to first pay, then get Tara out of the way, then get the groceries into the bag and onto the stroller. Today the lady just kept pushing our things past her and three things ended up on the floor, maybe we were doing something inappropriate and she was trying to let us know that we were being rood for holding up the next person in line, hmmm, I see no alternative plan. I simply need to buy more than three things at a time :)
But our walk was wonderful. There are large farm houses that look like from early 19th century, still with stone walls and mortar, standing right in the midst of modern apartments. This area really must have been protected somehow from the two wars.
Another thing that is hard to get used to is 'fresh fruit'. Since the fruit I have eaten all my life was picked while still green and ripened later, I'm used to harder fruit with no obvious marks. Fruit here is soft and has lots of bruises and knots. It is like eating fruit from your grandmothers backyard. It tastes great, but having brown spots is something that I'm just going to have to get over. I'll try to start with letting Tara eat them. If it does not kill her, then I think I'll be okay :) Also it means that fruit is only good for a couple of days, so more trips to the store for us. Which is also good since it gets us out of the house.

Oh yeah, have I not mentioned the weather? Well before I left, as some of you know, I was lammenting the fact that we'd be freezing our asses off with max temps of 70F. How wrong I was, people are saying that this is unusually hot, but thank god I decided to pack a few 'summer' outfits for Tara and I for while we'd be in Berlin! It has been over 90 every day. Tara has three short sleeved shirts, two pairs of shorts and two lighter dresses. Needless to say, I'm doing lots of laundry. I was thinking of suffering through, but I think I'll be going shopping for a few more clothes tomorrow :) So much for the cold, well, we'll just have to see what it gets down to in the winter (at least I'm prepared for that :) )
So whoever reads this, comment, I'm getting lonely out here.
