She is German, lives in New York and writes about American culture for her newspaper. We had a pleasant visit, and we knew she was writing an article. Hope we didn't say anything really stupid. It looks like we are quoted extensively.

On line translations are not very helpful. So if anybody can read German, I would love to hear your comments about the article.
So she is a little over thirty and RVRoadie and his wife were kind enough to have her stay with them and then she publishes another Leisureville like article. I think the world is jealous of our good fortune to live here. She, being a lawyer, had enough money to stay in a nice hotel, but she visited with a nice couple and then said un.....un...nice things about this place. Boo, I say Boo. I know one word in German. See if I can say it right. Scheisa.
