For the first month in country I lived in a small but quaint hotel in Steinwenden, Germany.  The Raisch was located next to a beautiful church from which the bells would chime every quarter hour.  This made for some sleepless nights at first but would eventually become a welcome sound.  You see, in Germany the church bells ring in every village.  It’s a unique experience to say the least.  I’m not a fan of the Cuckoo Clock, but I dearly love the sound of the church bells in Germany.
