Busy B's

            For me, Sunday mornings and early afternoon = personal time. And boy do I always really need it! As much as I love it here, I never get alone time. There is always so much going on in this beautiful city! Plus, these Sunday hours give me time to update this ever-so-interesting ( ;-) ) blog.

            Since being here, I have come to many conclusions about Germany and the people within the country. One of these is that Germans just seem to Adore paper work and filling out forms. I never Knew so many forms existed in order to get a student visa! Plus, I’ve had to get my parents to send over notarized documents, two saying the same thing but in different ways. So silly.

            Let’s see, a couple short highlights of this week include the Rothaus brewery visit, the party themed American Parties, Reichenau, and Meersburg.

            The Rothaus brewery was really interesting: it looked like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, except for beer.

 

Wonder if I walked down this hall the door would be realllly little at the end ... 

The best part was the all-you-can-eat meat, bread, and beer after. I took full advantage of the meat and bread!

Surprise surprise, a couple of American guys (and an Australian who might as well be American) threw it. They did all the classic American college party games, (ex. Beer pong. Except, played with water in the cups and the accidental mistake of ordering the wrong size solo cups).

The next day, my friend Remy and I decided it was a wonderful day to stroll about a little island of the Bodensee called Reichenau. After receiving many confuddled directions, we finally walked along a long street/bridge connecting Konstanz and Reichenau.

The island was a cute, quaint place with a few gorgeous buildings, like a monastery, a church, etc.

            In the summer it was be more glorious because there is a vineyard and many huge flower gardens.

This was a beach on the opposite end of the island.

A group of us also went to Meersburg, another cute little town/island on the Bodensee. While Reichenau was more rural, this one was more of a town like Konstanz, only a lot smaller. We toured a castle there, was a lady named Annette lived.

Bis Spaeter!!!
