(The Mighty Missouri River, or the Rhine)
Germany and its culture and language somehow have a more profound impact on Missouri than one might think.
For example, before the capital city and my home, Jefferson City, was named after our third president, it was known as Old Muenchenberg. Today, Jeff City's "sister city" is the original Muenchenberg in Germany.
You want another example? Jefferson City is situated within the Missouri River Valley... or at least that's I thought. The "officially recognized" name for this geographic region is the Missouri Rhineland.
I live in the frickin' Rhineland.

So I've updated, you've updated. Good. I got your massive letter. A few things: 1 - I received it after I went to Amsterdam, so no postcard from there. 2 - Do you mean a plastic coke bottle or a glass one?
