Kiel: The Food List and the Audi


             We are in Kiel, Germany. We had to fly into Hamburg(er) and then drive to Kiel. The moment the five of us landed we all realized we had to eat a hamburger for our list of place foods. A few months ago we made a list of places where the name of the place is also a food thing (or sounds like a food thing).  Here is out list so far (saved on Mom’s cellphone). If you can think of any more, please add them as a comment so we can add it to our list!


  • Turkey (just did it a month ago)
  • Basel
  • Greece (done: we ate some meat, a couple years ago)
  • Hungary (we skipped breakfast one day, a few years ago)
  • Chile (going to do in a month!)
  • Hamburg(er), just did it.
  • Frankfurt(er)
  • Lima (going in Peru, we need to learn how to say lima bean in Spanish)
  • Bologna
  • Sandwich
  • Tamale (we were there, but forgot to find tamales. But Daddy says we’ll have to cook them ourselves, no Mexican restaurants there)
           
While at the Hamburg(er) airport we went to a restaurant called Cindy’s Diner which sold mostly hamburgers. All of us shared one burger. It was a regular burger other than the fact that it had some weird red sauce (possibly ketchup) which made the burger taste like “sweet and sour burger”, and was the size of a cookie. It was disgusting! We all had a bite and then threw it in the trash because it was so disgusting.

            Today we rode in one of the coolest cars any of us had been. There was a TV with cable, so there were channels. None of them were good and they were all in German. The seats went back a little and gave us a massage. We could get two different types of massage. There were also very good seat warmers which made our backs burn. For the heater we could choose what temperature it was. It could also be cold. We are hoping Daddy's conference gets us one of these cars again tomorrow for our ride back to the airport.

            We also got conference name tags and necklace thingies. Our first ones!

            Other than all that, it was a full day of school in the hotel. And yesterday was several hours of math during a long layover in Heathrow.
