Another lovely breakfast at the lodge and we were off to get our ID cards. Our ID cards are the most important thing we own at the moment...it gets us on to base and also helps to let us back in to the country when we leave. The ID cards took almost a half an hour to do because they had to get our fingerprints and learn practically everything about us. After getting my card, I opened up a bank account on post and then went to the PX to shop for some things I didn't have...like a pillow! The commissary was next and although it was small and a tad old, it still had food for really cheap prices. It really is true that you shouldn't go grocery shopping when you're hungry...I bought so much food it seems like, but I know it'll be gone in a week or so.
So after finishing all of our important business, Rob (our driver) drove us around Garmisch to show us where all the local places to hangout are. There are quite a few little shops downtown and super busy during the afternoons. While driving around, Ally and I noticed a H&M that is in town, so we made plans to go later. We also found out that right down the street from our dorms is a large parking lot and field that has a beer tent that goes up every August for some kind of festival...supposedly it will be a lot of fun. After another long day, Rob brought us all back to the dorms where we unloaded everything and then crashed for a few hours.
