This past month, I've had a lot of chances to travel around and see some cool new things. My friend Kat invited me to something called "Rhein in Flames" which is a huge firework show over the Rhine River. Her brother lives over that way (about 4 hours from where I live) and they go camping each year to see this festival. I got suckered in by the promise of a fun time and had to go camping again. When I'm planning a trip, I think "oh camping won't be that bad" and then I actually go and remember why I hate camping so much! Germans camp in campers and so did most of the people I was with but I still got stuck in a tent and it was freezing that weekend too. I just need to stamp on my forehead... do not go camping no matter how much fun you think you'll have!
The next weekend I went down to Austria with some friends to see the cows come down the mountains. It is a big festival in towns
It snowed.... I am starting to get more used to the weather here but snowing in Sept is just a little uncalled for! We were up high in the mountains so I guess it's okay.
Alpine horn players!
Before we left we went hiking to this beautiful waterfall.
Gnomes everywhere!
