It's a Whole New World....

So here we are in Germany! It is literally breathtakingly beautiful. It is honestly like watching a movie. There are hills and snow and cute villages and everyone waves at you. It's not like the real world!

We have been here for one week and what a week it has been! We have been to all of the cute little surrounding towns and to Trier on Saturday with some great new Friends. Trier happens to be one of the oldest cities in Germany. We walked right under the Port Nigra! This is part of a remaining Roman gate that is STILL THERE!! So neat! How pretty is this:

Here are another couple of shots from Trier. We had a great time! We even went to a super fun sushi bar that the food rotated around the room. Now, ok! I know...SUSHI in GERMANY!??! But it was still so fun!

For the last week, we have not been able to drive, though. We have had to rely on some really great friends to shuttle us around. Well, my friends, that all changed today! Michael and I took the required safety class and Michael is a "legal" German driver!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!! We got his car that we shipped over and are riding in style. We feel like new people with a car now. I wasn't able to take the license test at Barksdale like Michael, so I am testing later this week. Cross your fingers!

We are currently on the hunt for a house so we can move out of the base hotel. Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice hotel, but we are ready to not be in a little room all the time! Eeekkkk! Hopefully we will no longer be nomads by the end of this week. Living out of a suitcase is just not for me. I have WAY too many hair products!

Until next time!
