10. I envy you living in Germany

I was stationed there twice, once in the 80s and once in the 90s, and I loved it there. I was stationed at Hahn AB and Bitburg AB in the Eiffel region. I was mainly rural but the countryside was beautiful. I used to go Volksmarching to various towns in the region. I enjoyed the German people and tried learning and talking to them in their language which helped break the ice. I didn't get around to many other parts of Germany but did visit Heidelberg, Frankfurt, Trier, and during Fasching in Cologne. Love the food and pastries. For me, the best food was in the Gasthaus' about 20km outside the cities.
