I'm not singing this year, but was proud to help with the flyer design. Anyone in Germany is welcome - if you're in need of some Christmas-feeling. I'll save you a seat!

October Trip Part 1: Frankfurt (Oberursel)

Image
I left the house on a Tuesday for my big 10-day adventure, armed with a tiny suitcase and the cheapest train tickets I could find. The trip would be all about my girlfriends - the first four days visiting Michalina, my Polish friend from the IFC who now lives in Frankfurt, then a weekend with Annika and Katja in Karlsruhe, and ending with four days to explore Paris with Paige Wendle. The first leg of my journey took me from Kleinbottwar to Stuttgart, where I found out my train had been cancelled due to an derailing on one of the high-traffic tracks. So I was upgraded to an ICE (high-speed intercity train) for free and arrived in Frankfurt 2 hours later than planned. Michalina and her German boyfriend Dennis picked me up from the train station and took me back to their little town on the outskirts of the city, Oberursel. We walked the streets and ate dinner at a delicious Spanish restaurant - lots of garlic and tapas! Then I settled into my guest room there and we watched movies and...

Long Weekend in the Mountains

Image
With busy season at my new job, I don't have a lot of time to write about everything we did on our "Kleinbottwar Homies & Friends" weekend 2016 (our third annual!), but I will share a few pictures of the highlights, and due to less text, I will make the photos bigger than usual. Enjoy! Our group at castle Neuschwanstein Bavarian breakfast, complete with white sausage, beer and pretzels! The view out our dining room window in the house we rented, not far from the town of Füssen. Katja and I all ready to climb, despite the rain! In the mountains, in the trees. We took part in the ropes course until a storm moved in, then had to take the coaster down the mountain quickly before things got dangerous. Here is how we got back down the mountain: Alpine Coaster Immenstadt (put it on mute and enjoy the ride!) We were told not to hit the breaks so we could save time, meaning I screamed my lungs out through the first few curves until I got used to...

3rd Annual Alpine Hike

Image
Representin' Sullivan, MO in the Alps This past weekend Fabian and I traveled to Austria with his mother for our third annual Alpine hike. We take a different trail (or trails) each year. This year we began at the Lünersee - a lake in Vorarlberg, Austria - at an altitude of 6,463 feet above sea level. We took a gondola from the parking lot up to the lake itself. The lake was dammed in the 1950s, raising the water level significantly. It has been producing hydroelectric power for the valley below ever since. On Saturday morning, we first walked along the edge of the lake for about 45 minutes, then we took a right and headed over the tree level and into the rocky, windy valley up towards the Swiss border. It began to rain, then snow-rain, then flat out snow on us while we fought our way to the Verajoch - our first ridge to hike over. Suddenly on the other side, the fog cleared and the sun shone! We took a quick break and nibbled some bread and sausages before walking o...
