Germany - Lists, Lists and more Lists

List #1 - Food that Eli must try while in Germany

• Milchshnitte - which sounds to me like "Milk Sh#@" yeah, can't wait (apparently it's the ice cream/chocolate bar Matthias looks for everywhere in the US and can't find)
  

• Maulwurfs Kuchen - well "maul" sounds like 'bad' to me and then there's Kitchen - something bad in the kitchen...awesome. (apparently it's also chocolate...okay, I'm in)
  

• Germany bakery - now that I can do

• Schokocrossies - it sounds sacriligious - Chocolate crosses...we tried to make them with limited success and they're not crosses they're crispies I guess, or something like that

• Nappo - no clue; reminds me of a hair product for some reason

• Applesauce - I've never had it before and can't wait to try it....hahaha...something about how it's different in Germany. I don't understand. Applesauce is mushed up apples, how can it possibly be that different?

List #2 - Food that we must buy in Germany
I don't maintain this list but it's a long list of chocolate and licorice for the most part plus a plot to try to bring back lots of the Milchschnitte (which to me sounds like a mess waiting to happen).

Coworkers found a link to a product you can order in Germany called "Cheeseburger in a Can" that was made for hikers. The review of it is that it's disgusting. They want me to buy it and bring it back anyway.

List #3 - Products to buy
the topper on the list includes a Eucerin shower, which Matthias is convinced will help my dry skin. The rest are a variety of products that Matthias uses and can't seem to find an American equivalent of.

List #4 - Fun stuff to buy
Cuckoo clock
Gnome
others I can't think of at the moment

List #5 - the Packing List
It's an ugly, ugly list. I refuse to type it. I have no clue how we're possibly getting there and back without breaking our backs carrying everything we need. I believe we plan to do laundry at one of the hostels about half-way through the trip which should help. See lists #2-4 above for the amount of space we need to leave for things we're bringing back (plus stuff Matthias is getting from storage at home).
