A brief recap

Yes, two weeks in Texas seemed to have gone by in the blink of an eye, but we had a great (if not tiring) 2 weeks. Details to follow but just a few statistics that give you a sense of the "pace" of things during our recent trip home.

* Number of days in Texas - 14
* Number of appointments, get-togethers, lunches, dinners, etc. - 20 +/-
* Total number of different places Budman and Hachie Gal rested their heads during the 2 week foray - 5
* Number of times we ate Tex-Mex food - 6
* Number of times we ate Texas barbecue and/or fried catfish - 1 apiece
* Number of movies seen in theaters - sadly, only 2 (Dreamgirls and The Good German)
* Number of cans of Rotel we brought back - 2, as the suitcases were already weighted down.
* number of additional suitcases we purchased in the US to get all our gear back to Germany - miraculously, only one
* Time it took to fly home to Dallas (10 1/2 hours); time it took to fly back to Dusseldorf (8 1/2, an all-time record for us).
* Number of times we were asked "when are you two coming home to Texas for good?" - we lost count...

All in all, a great time to family and friends...
