Hello to everyone in my beloved homeland. Happy Canada Day. Let's celebrate the birth of our fine nation with this post from some Americans, living in Germany, who like to hang out with our national bird. (Technically Canada doesn't have a national bird but let's pretend.) Trish writes: "...Chris! Just wanted to say a quick hello and tell you about my day. My husband John and I went to Dusseldorf to see the NIN concert (Totally RAWKED!) on Monday night. This morning, we had a few hours to kill before the drive home, and while walking around Dusseldorf found an amazing city park. There were many different species of birds, including Canadian geese (eh?). There were baby ducks, some kind of baby black water bird, and even baby Canadian geese. They were so cute. The baby ducks came really close, I think their mom was sending them up as cute bait to get bread....which unfortunantly we did not have. Thought you might find these shots of happy baby animals uplifting. If you are ever in Germany, give Dusseldorf a look! Cheers! -Trish 27Teen, Kyllburg Germany by way of Portland OR."

There is no such thing as Canadian Geese, they are called Canada Geese. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Goose

I missed a NIN concert in Dusseldorf?!! Damn. Anyway, hello fellow American Cute With Chris Fan residing in Germany!! Kyllburg in Rhineland Pfalz? Cause that would be awesome to discuss CWC with someone that wouldn't look at me like I was retarded.
Auf Wiedersehen!

Yay! Happy Canada Day!
Man, those Canada Geese get around. When I travelled to England, I saw a pair of Canada Geese too.

I apologize for my ignorance. I will never again misname a Canada Goose!
And Holly, if you are close to Kyllburg that would be awesome! I love Cute with Chris, not too many people I work with share my enthusiasm.
