After vienna i headed to Wurzburg (in Bavaria) to meet up with Eileen, one of my mom's teachers at old trail's sister in law (phew. did you get that!)
It was a gorgeous city with many people out an about ( and hey the weather is getting nice so why not!!) we walked around the city a bit ( why did i choose to live in northern germany where it is pure flat lands - these mountains and hills were beautiful!) There was a gorgeous palace on one side and a huge church (kapella) on the other side of the mountains. 
the Next day we headed to Rothenburg, which is exactly what you think of (if you have ever thought of ) a small german medival town. 
this town hasnt been touched since then and has a huge wall along the edge. We headed into the criminal museum (where they show torture methods from the middle ages!!) it was really interesting. If women were fighting they would put them in this Violin on their necks and arm (together) until they stopped fighting! but that was like the least that was done to them! 
After our tour of this city we headed back into town and went out for a lovely tradtional steak and german potatoes meal... after stuffing ourselfs we headed back to Eileen's flat and watched an old aubrey hupburn movie and pigged out on snack food!! ( to say the least i am riding my bike and walking everywhere now... i have just eaten so much sweets and goodness lately!!!) On sunday (yesterday!!) we went on to the American Base (after a great big breakfast!) 
and we went to church and then i got to go into their store, which was like heaven all over again... i got lined paper, cheez-its, a book, some oreos and an reese's egg for easter! ah heaven. then I had TACOBELL for lunch. 
it was crazy. i was eating tacobell in germany. (my friends back in luneburg were jealous) haha then i headed back on a longer than expected train back to Lueneburg.My break was great, fast paced and fun filled and just lovely. I was so excited with all the different people i met and conversations i had. It was truly awesome.... now for school. I got an A in my German 2 course... and we are only speaking german in the flat (well i lied, but i am trying to only speak german in the flat. i should be improving in no time).
anyways....how are you!!! I am excited to see what you have been up to, thank for your prayers, calls, letters and love!!! xoox

Those pictures are so amazing! How do you remember all the names of everything? (let alone how to spell them?!) Goodness.. You inspire me, woman :) I miss you! I'm so excited that you're getting to travel Europe! Still working on that update for you.. I applied to a teaching position in Korea last night..all expenses paid! We'll see what happens :) That would really be awesome though..
Love you!
