Guten Tag from Saarbrücken Germany

Hi everyone,  Well we made it to Germany in one piece.  I will have to say that was a very long trip and we were all exhausted.  Ivy did wonderful and we are blessed that she is a great traveler.  We got all our stuff through 2 airplanes and on a train.  Wouldn't you know we left the pack-n -play on the train. Thankfully the hotel had one.  Today the 1st was a holiday so everything was closed.  We hope to hear that they have the pack n play but I am sure that is unlikely.  Which means we have to buy a new one.  Our first night here we were exhausted.  We got to our apartment, then we were off to dinner.  The lady at the front desk told us that we should go to the grocery store since Wednesday was a holiday. So we were thankful and went to dinner then were planning to go to the store.   Dinner was lovely, but Ivy was too tired so we scarfed our food and headed to the store. The lady didn't tell us that the store closed at 8. Seems like everything closes at 8 which is fine.  However, we had no milk for Ivy and nothing was open.  We went to bed and shockingly even Ivy slept until 9:45.  I actually woke her up since we were told continental breakfast was until 10. We got there and they did not have breakfast.  So we decided to walk to the grocery store just to make sure it wasn't open. Thankfully there was a bread shop open next to the grocery store. They gave us milche (milk) and we got some tasty treats.  We went back and slept for 2 more hours then ventured off into the city. We had a great first day even though it was short.   We took Ivy to the park and walk along the river and ate some delicious dumplings for dinner followed by Gelato for dessert. I need to charge my battery on my new camera which I will do in the morning. If I can get my self together I will start posting pics tomorrow or Friday.  I will try to update as much as possible. Its late so I am off to bed.
