hallo aus deutschland

we are finally getting acclimated to both the german language and the time difference. not that my german is any good on the best of days, i finally feel like i can get around, order things, ask questions, etc... regardless, we always have the phrase book and german dictionary very handy.

as for the training, we went out on sunday for a 2 hour ride outside of augsburg through very beautiful country side. the only thing is, it's been very warm. around 90 degrees daily and we were looking for a starbucks (j/k!) or really any store where we could get something nice and cold, but none were to be found. unfortunately with our american ways, we are so used to most stores being open at all times. so, we made it back. a little dehydrated, but good. caught germany opening a can of whoop ass on sweden in the round of 16. it was pretty funny, whenever germany scored you would hear yells coming from the neighboring houses. they love their soccer.

yesterday we had a rest day and we took the train to munich for a little sightseeing, but mostly shopping. saw all the italians visiting germany going nuts as australian got robbed on an invisible penalty in the last minute of the game. the italians were driving around honking horns, waiving their flags and very excited.

anyway, it's tuesday morning and we are about to head off for a little bike ride followed by a short run.

until next time,
dL
