I took this picture when we were walking around the neighborhood last night. It was a beautiful day with lots of sun and wind. It was great although starting next week, I am going to attempt to start fitting into the culture by starting to speak German...my English is turning heads and last night, the waiter spoke only English to me when I slipped and asked for a liter of water...oops.

Today we are heading to the northern part of Germany for a wedding. It is my first German wedding and I am curious to see the culture differences, if any. One thing I learned is that it is ok to wear black to weddings. Is that strange to anyone? In the midwest, I don't think I have ever saw anyone wear black to a wedding. Well, I have to do it today, since I only bought 1 dress and it happens to be black. We looked yesterday for a dress without success, so black it is.

Tschüs!
