I just finished compressing and rendering a small batch of videos in Quick Time that we shot with our Canon SD110 digital camera. The SD110 is not really a video camera but it was still able to capture some very interesting moments regardless. I hope you enjoy them.

We are back in the USA!
This is just a quick upload of the last few galleries and archives. I will be updating the page soon with videos and some additional writings with more details.

All in all we had a tremendous time and everyone we saw and stayed with were so nice and accomodating it was unbelievable. It was especially great to meet more of my Deutsche family and get to know some more of my roots.

I hope everyone we met will come and visit us soon in San Francisco so we can return the hospitality.

Well, I think this might be the last update from Deutschland. More than likely I will complete the site when we get back to SF. Everything in the archive past 06-29 is bullet points but I think I will fill in the details later at home. We arrive at SFO on 07-17 at 12:30pm. The time is now going by so fast we are using our clock as a fan! We are sitting at Star Cafe in Heidelberg with Christa. Inge and Elena just came up from Oberachern to spend today and tomorrow with us. We will go to Schloss Heidelberg, walk across the AlteBruche to see the house I was born in and check out as much of Heidelberg as possible.

Tschues,
Ed

ps. RAUCHEN KANN TÖDLICH SEIN!

Guten morgen oder guten tag oder guten abend from Deutschland! We have been having so much fun and have been so busy that updates to the site have not come with the regularity we had expected. Since the last update we have traveled through Germany, France, Belgium and The Netherlands, then back to Heidelberg. Taylor and I are sitting in Star Cafe on the Haupstrasse in the Altstadt of Heidelberg. We are attempting to load as many galleries of photos as we can in the next hour. Since we have been so busy we really haven't had time to write anything about our escapades so you will just have to look at the pictures until we have the opportunity to get our story telling together. We miss you all and we will be home on July 17th... It seems like such a short time ago we were getting off of the plane in Frankfurt.
