We still don't have phone or internet at home. About a week and a half ago, we signed a two year contract for a landline and internet. 25 Euro/month, plus a 50 Euro cancellation fee. Not too shabby--especially because we will be able to have DSL 6000, free calls to any landline in Germany, AND free calls to the US! We've already received the two introductory letters and the modem from the company, and we have an 'appointment' on the 21st, where the guy will come and finish setting everything else up. So, after the 21st we will have everything! Another plus--fall break in Utah! So Graydon and I don't have any homework due until right around the 21st! Yeah! Such a happy thing.
Right now we have two other sources of internet: First, we sometimes can go up to our wonderful neighbor upstairs, Thomas, and he will let us use his computer. Many times, however, he is not home, so we had to find another source. It is Coffee Fellows at the Hauptbahnhof in Stuttgart. We buy a bagel or two, and the wireless is free! So we try to make it here every morning, and sometimes at night.
We also were offered a pre-paid phone yesterday to borrow. We have been giving people the phone number so they can call us--there are not any minutes on the phone right now, but at least people have a way to get in contact with US!
What else, what else, what else. We are hopefully going to buy pillows today. The couch hasn't come yet, or the table or chairs, because it has been so hard to get in touch with us crazies. We are supposed to be going to a ballet tonight, but haven't been able to get in contact with Dieter and Gabi. Hopefully they can call sometime today, before the ballet. Dieter loves to go to those things and be cultured, as well as culture all his friends. And I love them already! Stuttgart is VERY well known for their ballet, so it will be great! We just don't know what we will wear.
We will try and post pictures as soon as we can, thought it might be sometime after the 21st. We love you all!
