I can't believe it's OKTOBER!!!!

Hallo! Is it really October?! So, I have been in Germany for a month now and I just started to drive by myself!!! This is a major accomplishment, just so you know... I am mainly just sticking around the neighborhood, but trust me that is a good start! Enough about that, This week Zach and I were able to go to a city two hours north of us called Hamburg.  Hannover is pretty big, but Hamburg is double if not more the size of Hannover! City Hall in Hamburg is gorgeous, and the city is right on the water.  Seriously, the buildings foundations are under the water! The architecture is a lot more European too, because there are more buildings that were saved from WWII.  I hope you enjoy the beautiful pictures that I got!

The buildings along the river literally go into the water

This past week has just been quiet and relaxing.  Zach and I try to go on a walk as much as possible, and recently we have been walking along the river near our house.  There is a huge lock system that allows bigger boats and barges to pass through the river.  It is neat seeing the boats rise and fall 49m at a time!  I started back with Yoga!!! YAY!!! I'm not gonna lie, after the first session back I was super sore the next day, but it felt great! I didn't realize how much I missed doing it! Zach has been doing it with me, and can tell a major difference in the way he feels :) It's amazing how Yoga can change you!

Oktoberfest is also going on now :) We live too far away to go to the real one, but we stopped by the festival here in town.  It reminded me of the state fair back home.  I hope that one year Zach will be playing closer to Munich so we can go to the real Oktoberfest!!

I am trying to paint while I am over here...mainly to keep creative  :) The walls of our apartment are so bare so painting also helps this :)                                                    

Owl painting that I did, it's one of three

Well, the weather here is starting to get a lot cooler, and the rain comes and goes throughout the day...Believe it or not, it makes me miss the hot weather back home! It is October though so it is time for Fall :) Well, I love and miss everyone back home and I hope that all is well :)  Thank you for reading and I will have more for you next week!

-Tschuss!
