Well...I made it!

So crazy excitement...I'm in Germany, and this will be the first time the "temporary" isn't so "temporary." I arrived in Frankfurt about 11am yesterday, and then had an epic journey to Muenster. Generally, all went well except when I wanted to take catnaps I couldn't because I was scared to miss the train or because the cabin of German servicemen I was sitting in got a little rowdy, but overall, it went very smoothly.

Steffi picked me up from the Muenster trainstation after we searched and stared awkwardly at each other for 20 minutes before realizing who the other was. She showed me around the apartment (which is beautiful...and so clean...it's like a real place), and then we went to the grocery store. I couldn't really eat because it felt like 4 am, but I forced something down and we chatted for awhile then I was off to bed around 9. (See above for apartment pictures).

And at 2am I woke up. Fortunately it's only 8 at home so I had a chance to talk to some of my loves back home before I could make myself fall back asleep (Thanks again to Tim for giving me that website to watch American TV).

Today it rained...all day. I slept in ridiculously late, or so I thought (11), but Steffi slept until about 1, so I didn't feel so bad. Ate, hung around, took a nap, then decided to go out adventuring for a bit.

Here's the toy store, you can't really see it but there are GIANT playmobil people on top. I do love me some playmobil.

These are the doors to St. Laurentis (I think that's how you spell it) Church. Can't really get a good picture of the whole thing on a phone, but it's one of three medival churches downtown.

And here is the "famous" Brauhaus in the city center. Can't say much about it because I haven't been there yet.

That's it for now, On Monday I travel down to Koeln for my orientation until Thursday. And I start working the 14th!

Bis bald,

Sara
