Pamela, I am writing to give you my vote too. I just spent 45 minutes reading the German News in English. Very refreshing. You may remember how starved Americans are for world news. Thank you.

Thank you Dona. It is always nice to know when a information or a link I have posted is of use to someone. I know when I first moved to Europe, I was so happy to be able to read the news in English! So when compiling a list of links to help people here, I thought back to the ones that were the most helpful to me. Again, thanks for the comments Dona!
