ABCs

In the short amount of time I have been in Germany, I can say their breakfasts and pillows are better! Way better. All the ingredients to a typical German breakfast are available in Hamsterville (lecker* cheeses, meats, and bread), but now I know they make a much better breakfast than lunch. Maybe that means I will eat cereal for lunch?! Humm… not sure about that yet.

As promised, I would reveal the photo scavenger mission Mom gave me in due time. She suggested that I find the alphabet while on my trip. Where you ask? In architecture. See below for my A, B and C. Associated captions are where and when I ‘found’ them. (Upon my return, I hope to show a slideshow of my favorite of each letter and I also hope to update in alphabetical order. I will state now: I am a little nervous about G and Q.)





A: The nearest bridge to cross the Rhine near Abernach, Germany. It’s only a few kilometers from Fireball’s house. It’s not the best ‘A’ nor the most exciting bridge, but it serves the purpose of proving I’m near a very gorgeous river and reflects my nerdy fascination with structures.

B: Pretzel maker’s shop near old town Altstadt, Germany.

C: Fountain in front of Sparkassa bank (where I used the ATM) in Linz, Germany. These fountains are found all over Linz and I love them! I even saw one that semi-circled patio furniture being used by a couple for lunch. It’s like they dining half surrounded by their own personal river.

The last picture I want to show is me in a vineyard across the Rhine from Abernach in a small town Fireball had only drank the wine from before and had never stopped. We had to stop at this location because jetlag almost got the best of me! Fireball will definitely return and maybe, just maybe (depending on custom laws) I will bring some bottles back from here! It was amazing.

I have finished my update with enough time to spare to take a walk around her little town all by myself. I will be back here to get my bag for a train to the airport. Destination Prague! I am assuming I will not have access while in Prague, so expect my next update at the end of the week.

*lecker means ‘yummy’ and word I have already added to my vocab.
