Last night I discovered I left my Kindle on the airplane from Heathrow to Munich. A Kindle is Amazon's electronic book reader. I can carry a bunch of books and it weighs the same thing before and after I download them, which really helps the packing situation.
I got on the computer (Skype - I love it!) first thing this morning calling Munich Airport to see if they perhaps had found my Kindle. It seems no one in Europe has ever heard of one. I had to explain what it is again and again. The airport people said they would look for it and let me know if they found it.
At lunchtime a classmate took us to a lovely Thai restaurant where I choked on the hot pepper - quite a scene! Fortunately I survived and went back to my room where our hostess was putting a note on my door that the airport had called, but she had no news.
So I called and talked to the person at the Service Center. He found it! Hurrah!! I will pick it up on my flight out since I have to go through Munich Airport again. The only downside is I don't get to read my books while in Germany but I am not complaining!
Good day at the training. We are working in teams and have to do a project together. We Americans seem to be the more outgoing in the bunch - big surprise!
And it looks like they are going to get 3 feet of snow at home this weekend. I am going to miss it - ah well, someone has be be away from home for it to snow, and Joyce is happier than a polar bear.
