Hallo! I've been in Germany for a couple of days now. There was a little bit of a detour in coming here, my train got cancelled a few times but I met this really sweet couple from this town Heerlen where I had to transfer stations so they basically adopted me me through the various train transfers in order to get to the town. I felt very fortunate. Aachen is a small University type town, it's pretty with cobblestone streets and old buildings. I'm beginning to notice a trend in that, every town I go to, large or small have these beautiful cathedrals. Dave and I went to Cologne last night and they have this huge one, really unexplainable by words or even pictures. I have never seen a church so large! The thing to eat in Aachen is this bread/cake type of thing called Printin. It is alright, kind of gingery. Other than that, I can't say the food is anything to write home about. Although I hear the beer is amazing, I guess I'll never really know. Today we are heading to Brussels to check out the waffles and chocolate. Then I leave tomorrow for Prague. I am very excited to see Prague. I admit I have been a little bit lax here, taking a little breather from running around like crazy, but I intend to start full force again once I get to Prague. I booked at this hostel The Boathouse, which was recommended by Ellen's sister. From the reviews, it seems like a great place. And I can finally start my Euro hostelling, backpacking experience.

Anyway, that's about it for now. Not too many crazy adventures to speak of.

Have a good weekend, wish you were all here!

Anne
