Today has been a good day. I spent most of the day riding around the city by bike. I love this way of seeing a place. On foot is great (and cheap) but by bike is so much better. You get to see and do so much more in much less time. My host family let me use one of their bikes and I rode all day.

It's great to be in a city where you can get a big mug of GOOD beer just about any time of day. If you've only had the most popular American beers (Budweiser, Coors, Miller, ect.) you are sooo missing out. Germans know how to make beer. My favorite so far is the "weiss beirs" or "white" beers. Yum. They are so flavorable. It's going to be so sad to go home and not have them all with me:)

I did a lot of seeing the city today and spent some time reading in the Englishergarten. I love that place. I talked to a guy at Mike's Bike Tours who said the guy who hires people will be back from Budapest tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to catch him and talk to him about a job. It would be great to live in this city for a while.

Monday I'm planning on going to Garmisch, near the border of Austria and Germany, to see some friends from Dallas who now live there. It'll be good to see them again.

That's all tonight. I'm exhausted from riding around all day. When I got back Melanie's mom was cooking something spectacular. It's been over an hour since I ate and I'm still stuffed:)

Send me emails!
