This weeks letter is 'S', so here are my 'Turtels all the way down', and 'turtles' in German is 'Schildkröten'. Literally, that means something like 'shield toad' or 'armored toad' - you know how Germans are, we rather combine words in funny ways than invent new ones! Another example (and incidently, it also starts with an 'S') is 'Schnecke' - 'snail'. And then 'slug' means 'Nacktschnecke' - 'naked snail'!

I like turtles! I watch for them every day on my way to work. Yours are very pretty.
Very pretty Schildkroten finish!!
Haha I love "naked-snail" for a slug! How very true. Hope your business trip went well.
Die Schildkröten passen sehr gut.
What wonderful words! The turtles look great too.
Love the turtles - really cute. The hanger is really nice too - is it available outside Germany, do you know?
