Germany! (finally!)

I have arrived in Germany. My flight from London to Stuttgart on Sunday was cancelled, but after a brief bawling session in the bathroom, I decided that all was not lost, and settled down enough to snooze a bit during the night and got a flight out the next day at noon. On the plus side, one gets a lot of time to read between cat naps, and I got through Persuasion in one day. :)

I am staying with my penpal Stefanie's family in Münchingen, just outside of Stuttgart. We went to Ulm yesterday and climbed halfway up the steeple of the cathedral there- the Ulmer Münster. That was amazing. Then we went to the Ritter Sport factory. Also amazing. :) Now I'm in Bühl, near the border of France. There is tons of snow here, I am in heaven! :)

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow...

Merry Christmas all! By this time tomorrow I will be (hopefully, weather permitting!! :/) somewhere over the Atlantic drooling on a fellow passenger's shoulder. Gross but likely true. As you can see, I have everything I will need for the next month an a half...


What's that you say? Clothes? Oops, I guess I may need some other things too...

I must say, adventures are rather, well, adventurous, but think I was quite mad when I decided to do this crazy thing! I shall miss everyone so much, and I'm none too excited to leave my adorable 5 day old niece!


Okay, off to get my last good night's sleep in my own bed!

"...you step into the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to!"

Well, here I am doing what I swore I'd never do. Writing a blog. It's going to be terrible. But perhaps no one will read it anyway, which would be advisable.


However, I am about to go away for a very long time (a month is a long time for me, okay?!), and I wanted to be able to share my adventures with you. I suppose "you" would be any blokes who decided to disregard the above disclaimer, which would make you very lovely friends indeed. :P


I am leaving in 22 days for Europe. Stuttgart, London, then Paris. I hope you will be diverted by my ramblings to come!
