Germany Part I

I am going to write about my trip to Germany over a couple of posts. Mainly, because I don't want one post to have 300 pictures.

I left October 4. I flew from Atlanta to Dallas to Germany on standby. The way there was amazing, no problems at all. Other than turbulence, but that's common... NOT that I like it!

I landed in Germany at 730am German time, with no sleep on the plane, thanks to my fear of flying. I wanted to experience minimal jet lag, so I decided to stay up. I failed and took a two hour nap. Then I slept 13 hours that night.

My grandfather lives in Hohensolms, which is about 45 minutes from Frankfurt. On the 5th (technically my first day) we went to Wetzlar so my step-grandmother could go to the doctor and we could walk around the town. However, my Opa forgot his phone in the car and we had to walk about 3 miles UP HILL to get it. When we finally made it to the Alt Stadt (Old City), it was well worth it. Such beautiful buildings and tasty treats.

Here are some pictures from that day:

The next day, my step-oma went to babysit my cousin, who I had yet to meet. He's about 2. Such a cutie. While there we went for a walk around Butzbach. It was another gorgeous town, that used to be home of a huge military base. I took a few pictures there too:

That was just the first two days. While not entirely jet lagged, I was exhausted by the end of the day. The following day my Opa and I had a trip planned for a tour on the Rhein... that will be my next post, it will mainly consist of pictures!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
