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:
