Adventures :)

This was the first weekend we weren't unpacking and doing apartment-related stuff. Yay! This was also the first weekend we were able to cook meals in our apartment, which we definitely did. 


Today Patrick brought me breakfast in bed, and we laid on the couch having a "Sweatpants Sunday" until I decided we had been lazy enough. Thankfully, we had a nice break from the rain and snow. We decided to go see the WWII memorial that is a couple streets down from our apartment. It was a nice hike up the mountain, but the view from the top was amazing. After the city was bombed, they piled remains of houses and building on top of a mountain, making it 40 meters higher above sea level. Here are some of the pictures:

After we left, we decided to go to Tübingen to go see the Hoehentübingen castle. The drive itself was gorgeous. I fell in love with Tübingen. It is exactly what you picture when you think of a cute, really old town. The hike up to the castle was a pretty big one... I learned just how out of shape I really am. Well worth it though :). 

Thankfully, the rain waited until we were in the car. It was a short drive back to our apartment. We made dinner, I absolutely failed at making vanilla pudding (I guess that's what happens when you trust a boy to translate the directions) and now we are watching the football game :) gotta love ESPN America. 

Hopefully this week we can get our closet put together. Other than that everything seems to be done. I need to get my learn German CD going this week. Other than that we are planning some great adventures for next month, Cologne and Switzerland :).
