Germany!!

Had an AWESOME wknd in GERMANY!!!!

On Friday we caught an early train and went straight to Nuremberg. We stayed with Larry and Ruth in a small town called Roth about 20 minutes away. We arrived early afternoon and Larry met us in Nuremberg. This is a town very close to Ingolstadt where I studied so it was fun to be back! Since it was Brent's first time in Germany he had his first Nuremberg sausage and first German beer!!!

Friday night Ruth made chili and we had wine/beer and played Farkle. For those of you who have not played this it is a really fun dice game. We were all pretty competitive but had a great time and lots of laughs while playing.

An old friend of mine Jeanne is living in a town nearby and she came and picked us up in Roth and drove to Ingolstadt. This is the town that I studied in. Was very fun to be back and see how much had changed since I had been here. Had to share a few photos below for those of you reading who I was abroad with... our favorite places! While we were here a mini festival "Volksfest" was going on so we sat outside and had lunch/our first liter of beer!

On Sunday Brent and I headed to Munich. We arrived around 11 and had lunch and walked around. Decided that since we were going to Oktoberfest that we should buy some German attire! He got lederhosen and I got a dirndl both for a pretty good deal since it was the last day of the festival. We met up with a friend Sabine for coffee around 3 and then went to join her friends at Oktoberfest. Was such a fun night!! Both of us probably drank too much but was such a fun experience and I'm so glad that it worked for us to go.

We headed for home on Monday but stopped in Heidelberg for a few hours to break up the train ride. Was a fun town to walk around in!

We both enjoyed this wknd trip and are thankful for the experience! Still miss home but a wknd with Brent is Germany was pretty awesome!!
