Day out in Boston

Just got back from a nice day out in Boston. We started at the Homebrew Emporium in Cambridge to pick up a few ingredients for brewing on Sunday, and then continued on into town. We had a very lovely lunch at Fire and Ice: We decided to drive back through Boston to get to the…

Grab some food and drink… this may take awhile.

So…. some time ago (I can’t remember when it was exactly), I went to Ulm with one of the International Student organizations here. We spent all of Saturday in Ulm, and then all of Sunday in Blaubeuren, which is just outside Ulm. We climbed the Ulmer Muenster, which has the highest tower of all Christian…

Oops I fail

Hi Everyone. I fail for several reasons: 1. I haven’t updated in over a month. 2. I was going to post an update about my trip to Ulm but my camera is already packed for my next trip. 3. I still haven’t done that craft post I promised you so long ago. 4. I also…

Why hello everyone! Remember me?

In this post: Reutlingen Night out with Kelly and Qi Schloss Lichtenstein The long overdue craft update. This may be picture heavy. So, on Thursday, Mary Brooke and I took a day trip to Reutlingen. The church was really the only pretty thing we saw. With the exception of the most amazing yarn store EVER….

IKEA! :D

We went to IKEA today! 😀 It was awesome! I’ve been before, but it was interesting seeing it in Germany. I got a lamp, some curtains, scissors, bag ties, two hampers equivalent to the size of the laundry machines (the one I have is way too huge and I can only use one machine at…

Playing Tourist

These are the houses that are usually shown when you look up Tuebingen. We also walked…

4 Trains + 4 Hours (x 2) and a weekend in Schauinsland

They were on their way to Zurich for the weekend. We arrived at Horb, and quickly switched platforms, where we waited for about…

Picture-less Update

Hey everyone! I don’t have any pictures of the town yet, because we’ve really just been walking around and trying to take it all in… one of these days I’ll actually go out and take pictures. It snowed the day I got here, but other than that we’ve been pretty lucky. It’s cold in the…

Kloster Bebenhausen

What you see here is the tiny little village of Bebenhausen, which is just outside Tuebingen. We took the bus to the outskirts of Tuebingen and then approached it from the top of a hill. I took this picture on the way down. The village consists of the Kloster Bebenhausen, a monastery that no longer…
