A Long Time Ago...

Obviously it has been over a month since I have written and truly not much has changed...well a few things. Within the past month I have traveled to Salzburg, Austria and Prague, Czech. Both cities were amazing. Salzburg was small and had amazing Sound of Music tours, while Prague was a chance to see an old housemate from Seattle. Who knew that I would be able to say that I met a friend in Prague! Out of the two cities, Prague was definitely my favorite. It was large, but not overly big...you could still walk around to places, but it was so beautiful.

As of now, I have two more trips planned: London in a little over a week and a roadtrip through Luxembourg, Belgium and Holland. It is going to be quite the adventure. I am hoping to see as much of Europe as I possible can, hence all the traveling in just three months of being here.

I have also made some amazing new friends. Samantha arrived about a month after I did. She is from Colorado and we have really hit it off, since she's considered the other religious girl. And then there are Ben and Scott. The two guys with complete different personalities. Scott is the goofy kid while Ben is the quiet one, but we all get along so well. We all like to hangout and watch movies or go out for a game of pool.

The most recent activity though is Oktoberfest in Munich. It started last on Saturday, but I went yesterday with an extremely large group. The festival was more like an oversized state fair, without the animals and demolition derby. Right off the bat, everyone wanted to go into one of the beer tents, so we wandered into the Hofbrau tent, which is the only one that you can order a beer while standing at a table. Dressed in our dirndls and lederhausen, we passed for local Germans...well some of us did. Morgan and I were taken for German girls and asked to have our picture taken a few times throughout the day. We were so happy that we passed for locals! After the Hofbrau tent, we moved next door to the Hacker tent which wasn't as roudy, but definitely as loud. I'm not really one for sitting around and drinker and extremely large glass of beer, so I became bored pretty quickly, but soon enough we all were out riding the rides. It was such a great day and I was able to hangout with people that I had not been able to before. I don't think that there will be a second day of fest though...one was enough for me.
