I'm Batman!

So I brought my Palm Treo (PDA + Phone + camera) to Germany. I knew it would not work since Verizon does CDMA and not GSM like in Europe. But I need a PDA so I carry it, but I miss more appointments now that I only have maybe one a day...

I found a good deal for a little HD movie camera at Target before we left. 8 MP still and 720 P video on SD card, up to 4 hours. Decent video quality overall.

And I found a prepaid phone here for emergencies. A "Handy". Free incoming calls and Andi can call me for free on weekends. $0.50 per minute otherwise...

So I now have two cases on my utility belt. One case is pretty thick, since it holds the video camera and phone. Very nice! Next I need a battarang and a grappling hook.

We have noticed a lot of old German men wearing brown vests with lots of pockets and zippers. I have wanted one of these for years for camping purposes, but now I may get one for PDA + phone + camera + maps + diapers. Crazy old man!

Monday: Baisinger Spezial. Good, but a little hoppy. Not bitter.

Tuesday: Baisinger Keller Teufel Pils. Very hoppy, not pleasant. Andi said it was like crappy fraternity beer. Note the devil on the bottle. Tuefel=devil, Keller=Cellar. Also, Dinkel Acker Marzen. Good, but a bit hoppy.

Wednesday: Oettinger Hefeweissbier. Pretty good, but not my favorite weissbier. Also Scwaben Brau Das Schwarze. Very tasty and dark
