Projekt: Von A bis Z (V)

Nearing the end - 5 more letters / posts to go!  Today I am blogging all things "V" (pronounced "pfou" auf Deutsch, but in words, usually makes the sound "fé" - as in Volkswagen) that I can think of for the categories below.  Add some words if you think of them!

Cities:  Vilseck (the US Army has a post here, Rose Barracks), Vechta in Lower Saxony (my mother was born here)

Foods:  Vollmilch (whole milk)

Words you may recognize:  Violet (violet - the color), Vase (in this case, the V is pronounced "ve"),  Volk (the people), Vater (father)
