"I can understand German as well as the maniac that invented it, but I talk it best through an interpreter." - Mark Twain, A Tramp Abroad
Part of my confusion was that growing up in California, I never saw one of the lined and hooded Bundeswehr parkas, only the Feldbluse

The hats made it so much worse, like dopey tourists

I liked Brazil the best, but those were all great too

Yes, but I do give Adidas some credit for trying something different. Germany‘s Olympic outfits are always bad, at least this year they were creatively bad

With that cut and the grey flannel they looked like sanitation workers

I only knew Puerto Rico competed separately because there was a tennis player who won a medal at the Rio games IIRC

So bad

Apparently they’ve competed as a separate country since 1948. American Samoa and the US Virgin Islands also compete separately

That is infuriating and really illustrative of why I don't trust German doctors. You are (or will be) in pain and need medicine. And where exactly does the doctor think you are going to get more opioids (or lorazepam) after you are supposedly addicted? If I could I would go yell at them for you

I used to have teeth falling out dreams all the time, but can't remember if I've had any since moving to Germany. Also, what is going on in Greece?

definitely pick up some canelé and macarons (the ones from St-Emilion not the two-cookie kind). My colleague always brings back one or the other when she goes to Bordeaux and they are amazing!
