day 3 // sun jan 14th

A day of rest and playing a bit of catch up on tasks. I finally finished unpacking, then got caught up on email and school things. Now to enjoy some time of rest before adventuring out for dinner.

Here’s a little apartment tour. We are on the 5th floor of the AIB building. It’s got great views out of literally every window, and more than enough space for the two of us. Not to mention my legs are gonna be looking good by the time I climb those 5 floors multiple times a day!

Wade and I had a date night and found a local Asian restaurant called GinYuu. It had good reviews and looked like a fun joint. I ordered pad thai and Wade had a curry rice dish! The restaurant was a few stops away by train, so not a bad journey. We also both decided we needed more scarves and hats - ha!

day 1 // friday jan. 12

Wade and I slept a full 10 hours the first night. We woke up still pretty tired but an AIB orientation all morning, then lunch at the outdoor market in one of the many town squares. We split currywurst and pommes before taking a walking tour around the area.

Europe in general is so rich culturally and visually. I love to see all of the old mixed with the new. Plus, the textures and colors make this designer gal very happy.

day 2 // saturday jan 13th

Jet lag, it's a real thing. I had no trouble going to sleep, but then woke at 3:30am was ready to go. Finally forced myself to go back to sleep after a few episodes of The Crown.

We had a scheduled AIB excursion today with all 4 programs (including students from LMU, Penn State and bio science students from A&M, too). We did a scavenger hunt of sorts along the river at Rheinaue Park. It was a cool (and cold!) way for the group to see more of the city and learn more about the history. After an afternoon exploring we had a dinner back at school for all students and host families
