German Phrase of the Day

Posted in Short & Sweet by Cheryl on 12 October 2006

“Im Strudel der Ereignisse untergehen”

At first glance, you’d think it was talking about drowning in apple-Strudel (German apple pie). However, it translates to “to be caught up in the whirlwind of events”. Nice huh? Mmm, German phrases that use “apple pie” in them, mmmm.

    I think I am “Strudel der Ereignisse untergehen” with planning my dual-wedding! 2 caterers, 2 priests, 2 ceremonies, 2 different cultures, guests from around the globe…
