Frankfurters turned Homeowners!: Turkey Feathers

Well, it has been awhile since I posted so I will try to get up to date quickly. We received our air shipment so things are feeling much more comfortable here. We have all of our clothes plus additional kitchen and bathroom things. We decided to take a weekend trip to Munich which was alot of fun! We stayed at a nice hotel Le Meridian which was very close to the center of town. We did the typical site seeing on Saturday and then ended at the Hofbrauhaus. The next day we drove down to Schwangau, there are two castles in this town, one of which is supposed to be what the disney castle was based off of. It was really really cold that day and it required a 30 minute walk up the side of a mountain to get to the castle! It was interesting to see and we had quite an interesting tour guide! We then made the 4 hour drive home.

This past Thursday was Thanksgiving and we were lucky enough to be invited over to our friend Mike and Emilie's house for a real Thanksgiving dinner. Emilie was amazing and put out a great spread! It is not easy to find alot of the 'normal' things for T-day meals so she made them from scratch! Very impressive! We were very thankful to be spending the evening with friends!

We recently found our new favorite store. It is the old Walmart's that didn't quite work in Germany due to their lack of unions and Germany's very strong unions. Compared to our local corner store we have been shopping at this place is massive! Two levels, the top being home goods (dvd's, clothes, paper goods, automotive, etc.) the bottom floor being all the food along with the lotto store, pharmacy (which is where you have to get any kind of medicine) watch shop etc. We were able to really load up on groceries and I am hoping not to have to go shopping again for a few days. Interesting thing in Germany, I think I talked about how you have to bring your own bags, well I noticed alot of people not using bags and loading everything back into their cart and then into their car with no bags or boxes. I thought it would be a pretty tedious job once they got home to unload, but anything to save a few cents on buying a bag!

Otherwise things are going well. We are getting more comfortable in the area and are getting excited for our next trip wherever that might be!

Below are a few pictures of our apartment kitchen, foyer and outside!
