We hosted our first “Kaffee und Kuchen” today. Martin biked to the bakery to pick out several cakes (the Kuchen). I opted to make tea instead of coffee (the Kaffee). Then I made a top secret American addition to our event.
In Germany, “Kaffee und Kuchen” is served at exactly 4:00. It’s the classic German social hour. You’ll see signs at cafes that host Kaffee und Kuchen. You might also get a peek in someone’s window and see a group of gabbers.
Hello to a new week!
Our morning started with a visit to the dentist. After last year’s visit (do you remember that day? I think I was petrified with fear after that horrible, horrible trauma!), today’s appointment was so simple. I’ve lived to tell! And no one told me, “Sorry Katie. You have two kaputt teeth.” SHIVER!

I’m an American splitting life between a 480 square foot apartment in Berlin, Germany and – get this – a house made of old tires in the Rocky Mtns.
