I am in Tübingen Germany......finally!!!!!

I arrived yesterday around 2 or 3 pm. It was a LONG day. I didn't do much but sleep when I arrived at the hostel.
First....before I start rambling.....
Here are some pictures for you that I took walking around.

I hope they turn out.

Its been a good day today. In the mid 70s for most of the day. There is a mexican guy named Sergio that is staying at the hostel I am at. We have been walking around alll day looking at the town. Its very beautiful. There are so many old buildings around. The town square is amazing. The fruits and veggies (gemüse und öbst) look very good. The flowers were incredible.


So far everyone has been very helpful and nice. We were walking around trying to find a store called 'Kaufland' (kaufen means 'to buy'). We forgot the name of it and stopped two women and asked them where 'laufkin' was. 'Laufen' means 'to walk'. The woman said 'Wo?' (Where?). Then we explained and they laughed and helped us find it. It was funny. We have been saying Kaufland all day and laughing because we called it 'walk land'. We bought bread, tuna salad that was pre mixed in a can (and quite good I might add), cookies, fruit, and chips that look like pringles. All of it is great but the bread is incredible because it was warm when I bought it.

I have not been able to get into my dorm room yet because the place I need to go is on the other side of town and not with in a walkable range so I have to take a bus on Monday to go and pay for it.

Right now I am limited to using the internet cafe because there is no internet in the hostel. But soon I will add more on here about whats going on. Most of the weekend I am going to just get aquanted with the city and area so I know what I am doing. I've already decided that I am going to Vienna Austria either next month or in October. I'll let everyone know when I do that. I plan to visit somewhere new at least once a month, but right now I don't know how much free time I am going to have......but I think it will be a lot.

So.....until I get my own internet, I'll have to keep this short.

Until next time!
Tschüss! (pleasent\friendly way of saying goodbye!)
