Translation of soothe in German

Thanks a lot. Today and tomorrow are holidays in Switzerland, but I'll do it Tuesday first thing in the morning...please have a look at it and confirm. Where do you want me to place a reference?
We are back in South Carolina for Christmas. We are staying at the Hilton near the Corner. As you said, great location! Our trip included LA, California and the coast of Oregon (which was spectacular).
The ferry took me to the island. Sitting next to me there was a local guy with two packs of beer, and he seemed pretty drunk for this hour of the day. He offered me some beer and I was polite.
