Hello All! The past couple of weeks have just been a whirlwind of fun and new experiences! On our days off from hockey Zach and I like to explore around Hannover...We recently went to the zoo and an amazing garden. The first home game of the season was Sunday as well!
If you ever get the chance to visit Hannover, I highly recommend taking a trip to the Hannover Zoo. This was by far the best zoo that I have ever been to! The views of the animals were great, and you got to get up close and personal with a few of the animals. If you do go, beware of the gorilla! While walking toward the gorilla exhibit, Zach and I heard a loud thud...needless to say, the gorilla was pretty pissed off from all of the people taking pictures that he threw a handful of soil at a few onlookers...this was scary and hilarious all at the same time! The elephant exhibit was spectacular! You were able to be right next to the fence and could literally touch the elephants if you wanted. There were mama and baby elephants...SO CUTE!! Also, there were a few trainers working with a few of the elephants, it was neat to be able to see how smart this creatures are. The other fabulous exhibit was the Yukon exhibit with the polar bears! I will upload some pics so you all can see how active and interesting all of the animals were!

We also ventured out to the Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen. Part of the garden was closed due to a monthly firework competition, so we plan on going back to see the entire thing. I will put up some pics from that too.

Also, I made a little video of the first home game of the season. The guys won 3-1 against the Landshut Cannibals. When you watch the video you will see just how much the fans get involved!!! The beginning of every home game the fans light sparklers and chant for the team. I have no idea what they are saying because it is in German. Pay attention to the beginning of the video, Zach is number four which sounds like "fear." But he is the second guy called out...notice how the announcer says their first name and then the fans say the last. The end of the video is a clip of the guys "dancing." They do this after each win...it's kind of like them saying thanks to the fans. The fans are crazy, the entire game they chant, jump up and down, cheer and yell! It is a pretty cool atmosphere to be in.
