...I'm wondering if they WERE near where I was, then.

Mornin'! That place was in Weisbaden Rosie. That's not where you were is it?

Interesting thing that a lot of people don't know. San Antonio is known for it's Mexican flavor, but it is right on the edge of the German part of Texas too. Many Germans there and lots of German things, especially in the north part of town. So, it is a place where those 2 cultures merge.

Texas really has a lot of different cultural areas. My mom and dad live in the Czech part of Texas. Grama was in the Norwegian part of Texas.

We were about an hour from Wiesbaden, so it would depend on how far they drove to that restaurant. But there were a suprising number of restaurants run by Americans or other foreigners, so it's quite possible there's more than one such place.

Here's a map from Sembach to Wiesbaden, just to give you an idea of the distances.

I just received a phone call from the Navy regarding Msdrby's grandad's funeral. More details later.
