I'm learning Deutsch!

As my fourth week of studying is beginning in Germany I can honestly say, I am definitely learning! I am really enjoying myself. I am starting to impress Ben's parents too, haha. Definitely have a long way to go of course but I feel as though I am getting some where. I am out of my comfort zone and am challenged. That's what it's all about, right? Growth!

Coffee and studies
 
This week Ben and I have been enjoying walks, the nearby pool and we went to the local Dorffest in town, pretty low key and relaxing. We also met with friends Daniel and Ines for a BBQ, which is always so yummy. Ines picked me up from the train earlier that day (well she attempted to but I missed my damn stop, so she had to drive to the next one to get me) and we went shopping and had iced coffee and ice-cream together.

Backyard view!






We ended the week with a wedding of a long time friend of Ben. It was outside next to the Rhine river on the Swiss side. A beautiful setting. Some similarities to American weddings and then there are differences like the games and the speeches. It was HOT out that day, I was sweating.


So hot the guys had to take a dip!

Prost!






I am looking forward to this weekend as we are driving up to Cologne, Germany! Another adventure awaits! Xo
