retina scan...eye doctor... same thing

ok so maybe i underestimated a little.  i said the town had about 75 houses but i was told that 2,500 people lived here.  but everything is very condensed so it feels a little smaller.

today was my first day to go to the post.  i got my official military i.d. which gives me access to pretty much everything american in germany.  i got a post office box, my military visa, saw the club building (young life club that is) and a lot more.  when i was getting my i.d. card everyone was looking into this tube with their other eye covered and i asked if i had to get an eye exam.  don't worry, it was a retina scan.  i looked real smart

we leave tomorrow for the middle school service project in czech and i couldn't be more excited!  it will be my first time to hang out with the kids and really get to know them.  AND we get to eat authentic czech food.  exciting!
