Cologne Marathon

Things have stayed pretty busy around here as we gotten further into fall. I’ve now been in German class for six weeks and it’s still going well. The course goes at a pretty fast pace and there are a lot of new things taught each day. I think I’m making progress and have come a long way from the simple “Ich heiße Krista. Ich komme aus den USA.” that we learned on the first few days. At least I hope I have!

Two weekends ago was the Cologne Marathon and we got to watch it for a little bit while we were in the city. Maybe next year I’ll sign up for the half marathon since I had several years to practice in Pittsburgh.

Next weekend we are going on a mini-trip to Hamburg. October 3 is a national holiday commemorating the reunification of Germany in 1990. I don’t have school, Will doesn’t have work, and we’re going to meet up with some friends there as well. Definitely something to look forward to!

Here are a few more photos from around town:
