Half way to Germany....!

 Hi there, 
WE HAVE ARRIVED in SOUTH CAROLINA,

and discovered that flying time to California is about 5-6 hours (more if you stop to change flights) and flying time to Germany is about 6-8 hours....

Yup, we are half way there.

6432 Winyah Dr., Columbia, SC 29203


We arrived Saturday afternoon and were welcomed by our South Carolina Family and our new landlords.
We were showered with groceries  and welcomed by the wonderful Southern Hospitality. The cousins brought toys and we stepped into our new home with full arms and a full heart, relieved and thankful for God's protection.

Adapting to a new culture:

A trip to Bi-Lo can tell you a lot about the new culture you are living in.

I did not know about all the ways you can eat pork. I don't think I have ever tried fried pork skin....

And I guess, if you want to fry it yourself you can buy it this way...

Another South Carolina delicacy...

And of course we can find familiar items like the good old potatoes (great prices!!!!)

Coffee creamer, Starbucks coffee and newtons....

...as well as an update on good old Tom Cruise...

Ok, so much for today. We will keep you updated.

I am pretty sure we will include some pictures of all the little animals we are finding here....Lydia loves the squirrels and thousands off butterflies. Some of them as big as our hands...
