Gotta love vacation time

I thought I would let you all know that the amount of vacation time you get here in Germany is waaaaaaay more than you get in the US. We recently found out that you get 26 vacation days, not including national and religious holidays - which, by the way, are plentiful. For example, tomorrow Andy and I will be celebrating All Saints Day and thus will not be able to attend work. Actually, here in southwest Germany, the population is about 50/50 Catholic to Protestant, so we get more holidays here than any other region in Germany. How cool is that? Yay for Germany! :)
