The Hot Water Apartment!

We didn't stay in this first apartment very long at all when a friend of mine told me that an apartment was available up by where she lived. It was just a few blocks up the street. This apartment had hot water!! Needless to say,we moved.It was a similar set-up with two rooms. The only hitch was that we had to share the bathroom with Opa. Opa is German for grandpa. However, since we were sharing it with Opa, the landlady cleaned our bathroom every day. He was so quiet, his room was right next door to ours and I never heard him. We really liked this place better. We liked it so much that when housing became available to us on post, we turned it down and stayed where we were. I loved living "amongst'um", being a part of the german community.

I realy liked being around friends when Dave would go to the field for a month. This is a month of training and staying in tents. One friend of mine named Rita had a car and an international license!! We were good to go! lol We went to a few of the other towns when they would be having their festivals. It was so much fun.
