Frohlichen Valentinstag!

It’s hard to believe that we have been in Germany for a month already! Time is going quickly! Everyday we are starting to feel more settled and are learning  the nuances of living in a foreign country. A couple things we’ve observed:

1) You always need cash; merchants do not like credit cards and when you try to use them, you get a dirty look followed by some grumpy German expression I don’t yet understand
2) Bread, pretzels, donuts and croissants are so cheap and available on every street corner
3) It’s cheaper to drink beer than water
4) Cyclists don’t use traditional arm signals when turning which creates some serious confusion during our rides
5) It’s a beautiful city with so much to do and see! We’re lucky to be here:)

Here’s a picture of my morning commute with Sabrina to her school and our Valentine’s breakfast cake (we tried to make a heart with raspberries:))!
