Where EXACTLY are you?

Good question, and one I have been getting from a few people so here goes. We are in Katterbach Germany. There... thats all you needed right? lol... Ok, here goes. I had Jim capture some images from google earth just for clarification purposes.


This one shows you where in Germany we are located at, its in Baveria (Bayern) which is the southern half of Germany. The lines in yellow are the borders of Germany and the yellow tack is where we are at.

Next is a closer picture, zoomed in as it were. You can see Nurnburg off to the right, its a big city out here and you should be able to find it on any map of Germany. We are between Ansbach and Nurnburg (which can also be spelled Nuremburg).

Again we zoom in to our relation to Ansbach, which is to the west and kind of south of us. There are a few labels on this one. Bismarck Kaserne and Katterbach kaserne (by the way kaserne just means barracks) are pretty much the same city cut into two by the major road out here, not impressive but it is what it is. The last label simply says "our place" which is actually where our future apartment is at. (we sign on it tomorrow, further updates to be posted soon).

Last but not least is a picture of our kaserne area. Ok, lets start at the top. Our hotel is located in Bismarck Kaserne north of the "highway" 14. Katterbach is south of the road, and below the air field if our apartment building. And dont even get me started about the apartment situation right now. I will fill you in more after we are in it and I have a proper rant ready. :0)

I hope this helps you with finding us on a map, or just getting an idea of where we are. We love and miss you all!!!
