These are a few of our favorite things.

The more and more time we spend in Germany the more we begin to realize that there is a lot to love in our little neck of the woods. Although we still miss a lot of people and things back home, Germany certainly has its charms.

Frisbee:
We have met a lot of students while playing frisbee. It has also been a lot of fun traveling around Germany playing in tournaments.




Our main mode of transportation:
This is something that the both of us will miss when we return to the States. Living in a bicycle friendly town has been a lot of fun and a good form of exercise.




When we want to go a little bit further.....

The Hauptbanhof or train station:
