Big Americans

We’re an American family living just outside of Bitburg, in the scenic but often-damp Eifel countryside of far-western Germany. We got the crazy notion to buy a haus here, and even though it’s not the renovated barn/carriage house/crumbling country manor of our dreams, it’s pretty cool—when the plumbing and heating are working properly. When we aren’t traveling, we live a pretty quiet life. Stop by for frequent doses of Gemütlichkeit, which just basically means a sense of coziness and intimacy--and an unhurried pace to counter the frenetic nature of modern life. Doctor's orders! Oh, and a special hello to anyone visiting from the Spangdahlem Air Base community!

Bonjour,
I had to laugh out loud on this one. I'm an AMerican in Paris, I didn't know you were an American too. I think they do see us this way - I confess I add to that perception because I'm a bit soft, uh hmmm!
I have so enjoyed all your visits and your kind comments.
Have a great day!
I used to wonder, when I was staying there, how the Germans would translate "Granny Smith" apples?
Grossmutter Schmidt?
But then, I saw, in the store, how they had neatly solved the problem.
The apples were labeled simply "Granny Smith."
That's just wrong, as I'm laughing on the inside, too.
haha, this is both hilarious and sad. :)
Laughter ~ Laughter ~ Laughter and one more time Laughter ! Great post!!
OMG ... watch out! We're crusty and a little saucey!
Ah ha ha ha. That's hysterical!

Glory bee...you make me laugh. You tell it like it is sista girl...hugs from Washington...I think I'll go make pizza cause I'm a bigger Canadian!
That is funny! I am an American --and watching some of these food network shows -- like Diner, dives?
The people are stuffing themselves around the country when they showcase these 'diners' it looks like they are eating a whole cow or pig at one sitting.. it is no wonder others see us this way with the media projecting this image across the world.
But anyway it still was a funny post.

Oh, you all are very funny, too! I have enjoyed your responses!
Hahah! I think they were thinking about Big Boys Restaurants? I know...Germans disdain the idea of pizza, it is not refined enough a palate I suppose!
