MOVE OVER JULIE ANDREWS, THESE HILLS ARE ALIVE WITH SOME NEW MUSIC

The radio stations here are hilarious.  We are hearing a lot of 80s music: Bon Jovi, Guns n Roses, Phil Collins, and a random sampling of obscure American songs that never made it even close to the Top 40.  On the drive to get Isaac dropped off and picked up from school today I heard the following: Elvis, C and C music factory (which had Isaac giggling), Tina Turner, One Republic, Simon and Garfunkle, Train, Michael Jackson, and Shakira (Switzerland loves her daily dose of Shakira!).  Now THAT makes for an eclectic listening experience!  The DJs are also a crack up, as I listen to them rattle away in Swiss-German, all of a sudden you hear an American celebrity name in a thick German accent and pronounced with a slower pace...JJJeeeffff  Brriiddggeesss...then back to the fast paced Swiss German.  Makes me laugh.  We will definitely be putting that ipod jack to good use in the car we ordered!  Which, reminds me…when IS that car we ordered going to get here?  We were told that it would take 4-6 weeks.  About 5 weeks after placing the order, Chris called to ask if they had a delivery date, and we were notified that somehow the paperwork got "lost in the shuffle".  Our car had not yet been ordered.  Now, I am loving the little M series BMW wagon we have been tooling around in…it makes me actually look like a European, but poor Luke is completely smashed in-between his two little brother's car seats (not to mention, illegal.  Switzerland just passed a law April 30th that requires kids to ride in booster seats until the age of 12).  We are lucky he is such a trooper, always easy to get along with.  Just one more reason I love that kid so much!
