Germany, Part 1

Here's my first update from Germany! I've been here since Sunday and so far it's pretty awesome. My trip over went very smoothly (even getting through the JFK airport!). Window Seat :)

The food is so delicious! This is Kartoffeln, or potatoes.

All of the buildings look cool, and most of the houses have extensive flower gardens. These pictures are all from the first town we have visited, Neustrelitz. It's a little town by most people's standards, but it is very nice.

There is a big traffic circle at the town center and a lake and a small park. Over the couple of days we have been here we've gotten to walk around the entire town. I can't wait to see the next town! More posts to come soon, hopefully :)

Ciao!

Food Making

Lately I've been trying to summon up my Home Ec. skills and experiment with cooking. So far so good. Here's a picture of my manicotti. Supposedly the recipe comes from my great grandmother who came from Sicily, but it's suspiciously similar to the recipe on the noodle box. Coincidence? I think not. Obviously, Barilla stole my great-grandmother's recipe for their own. Regardless, it was delicioso.

After the oven: Golden brown and yummy!

The End

On the way to the eye doctor today, I saw the Tree again. It has been cut down, reduced to an unimpressive pile of limbs and brush.
