Zee slopes are covered with snow, mein fireplace is keeping me warm und I have a full glass of wine to enjoy. Ah, yes, it is a great night to be home! I hate to admit it, friends, but I really missed mein easy chair while on zee little German American Tour!

Oh to be home, it is quite a wunderbar thing. But, I have to be honest with you, I feel a little lost since mein tour ended. Indeed, as I sit here relaxing, I can’t help but think about zee fun times that I experienced while touring your beautiful American countryside. Over zee past year und a half, you sent me places that I never thought I’d ever visit. Und thankfully your tips, insider’s scoop und photos guided me along. From zee Windy City, down to zee Big Easy, across to zee coast of Atlantic City und all the way up to Anchorage. Wow, I still can’t believe it all! All I can say is thank you, friends, for giving me zee thrill of a lifetime! Und I hope that you enjoyed it, too.

So as I wrap this up, I’d like to give one final shout out to all zee wunderbar winners. Und thanks again to all who voted in zee little German American Tour!
