I know it’s not a big deal for most anyone, but I have hot water again. I finally got through to the lady owning the apartment – and they had someone come check. Within minutes, they discovered a cracked pipe in the basement and that the water wasn’t making it to the sisturn properly.

So, by noon yesterday, pipe replaced, water turned back up, and etc. I again have hot water – enough to shower. I waited to be happy about it until I confirmed I could again take a shower. If this morning is any indication – there once again is water – enough to go around.

Hooray!

PS. I’m headed for a couple day trip to Dresden tomorrow, so I’ll have plenty of pictures to share.

P.P.S. I’m sending holiday cards out this week – please make sure I have your address so you can get mail from Germany!
