The rest was, how are you? I speak fluent german, at least I did a few years ago. Since my parents died I really don't have anyone to talk to in german, I think I might be a bit rusty.
Hey Sneezy, want to learn some German before you go on your European trip, they love it when you speak in their native tongue. Don't worry though, most everyone speaks English there, especially in the touristy places.
