Nothing New

Hello, there was not much going on this past weekend. Justin and I watched Iron Man in our Hotel room, went walking around on Saturday, and yesterday Justin's sponsor drove us to Pottenstein where we had an amazing dinner. She called it "steak on the stone" but it's real name was in German, began with an S and was quite long. Katie (Justin's sponsor) told us that she had once asked the owner of the restaurant how to pronounce the name but he just laughed and gave her the rough translation that I mentioned above. :)

The restaurant was very nice and so was everyone working that night. The scenery outside the windows of the restaurant was also very pretty. Katie told Justin and I that we were very close to a forest with caves and other neat places to walk, too bad it was raining so much.

Justin had the Kangaroo, Katie ordered Ostrich, and I tried the Wild Boar. After a short time, they brought the sizzling cuts of raw meat out to our table which were neatly arranged on platters containing a hot stone in the middle, accompanied with different dipping sauces and bread. It was a lot of fun to be there and eating something new! Justin and I agreed that when we finally had guests over to visit us, that we had to show off our newest find. I know one person in particular who would probably love the fact that there is Crocodile on the menu. (My little brother, Austin.)

Anyway, today is another slow day. We got the Lease Agreement approved by the Housing office, so we need to drive over to Grafenwoehr and get it printed, signed, and scanned to be sent back to the Landlord of the house we want in Eschenbach. It will be so nice to be one step closer to having a home of our own, this Hotel room is making us feel a little cramped, and I miss being able to cook real meals with real ingredients on a stove as opposed to different variations of ramen noodle dishes a la microwave...Très Bien! (Yes, that was sarcasm, sorry.)

I love my new phone, I have my email set up on it to let me know the second anyone writes. Justin and I also downloaded the Star Wars Lightsaber app and have random battles with our phones. I love our geekiness, not going to lie.

That's it for now! I will write again if there's anything else going on!
