Methinks you will have to settle for a Texas Shiner "Bock" Beer. :-) But Me also thinks (or wishes)--maybe our list should start a shopping exchange network. But we might overwork our German friends with our requests for German goods. (Heinz & Katharina, it's time for you to get worried!) I wonder if they would care to have any American-made (well, at least SOLD in America) goods? Frankly, I keep wondering how much more I pay for my Birkenstocks (usual cost $90-$110) and my Haflinger shoes than my German shoe-wearing counterparts have to pay for theirs. I'm an inveterate label reader, and I'm often amazed at how many products I use that are *Made in Germany.* Theola
German Life magazine has advertisers that sell German foodstuffs and German beer.

On a train in Germany, I happened to notice a backpack that said "Made in Amerika" which I thought was ironic because such objects are relatively rare in Amerika. My own backpack, purchased at Kmart, says "made in Thailand". I bought some Ricola cough drops in Switzerland, und they were very expensive. I was amused that I can get something made in Switzerland cheaper in the states than I could in Switzerland.
