Germany :)

Being able to spend a few days in Germany was great. Charles picked me up from the airport in Nuremburg late Thursday and we headed back to his house in Amberg about 40 miles away. It was so nice to stay at a normal house again with out 40 other people running around the place. I had my own room and I only had to share a bathroom and kitchen with one other person! It was amazing!
Halloween just didn’t feel the same in Germany. We went to the base that day to go grocery shopping. I was so excited to see all of the American brands that we have back home. I know it probably sounds silly but I even bought a bottle of Ranch Dressing and Skip peanut butter to take back to London with me!

The base that Charles is stationed at used to be a German base before WWII. There was this old German style tower there and I think Charles was telling me that it was where Hitler used to go over his orders/diaries... I thought it was interesting.

We went out Halloween night (no costumes for us this year) and it seemed like most of the people who were dressed up were the Americans. On Saturday (Nov 1st) we went into town to go shopping but everything was closed. We didn’t realize why until we got back to his place… it was All Saint’s Day. Apparently it’s a big holiday in Germany, but we had no clue.
It was a quick and relaxing weekend. I know that all of my other trips are filled with things that I did and saw but Nuremburg isn’t really a town with a lot of exciting things to do. And that really wasn’t what I was planning on doing. But, I think next time I go back we are going to go see Cinderella’s Castle!

See, he lives by farms... and I found out the hard way that if you roll down the window... it smells really bad!
