More from Germany

Well we are nearing the end of our fabulous vacation in Germany. We are hanging out in an Internet Cafe again so Matt can charge his Ipod for the grueling 19 hour trip home. We leave Freiburg by train tomorrow at 10:00 am Germany time and if all flights are on time should arrive in Champaign at 10:00 pm Central Standard Time. That's 12 hours plus the 7 hour time differnce and you get 19 hours. I'm not looking forward to that but it's worth it to be here.

Anyway we have enjoyed our last week in Germany. After traveling to Munich we took a day to relax around Freiburg and then went to Heidelberg, Germany on Sunday. The weather turned a little rainy in the afternoon but we still enjoyed seeing the castle there. Then we decided to stay in Freiburg again on Monday. I think we were getting a little tired an needed another laid back day. Unfortunately on Monday night Matt had a little bought of what we think was food poisoning which put him out of commission on Tuesday. So Tuesday was our worst day since Matt was laying around all day. I just walked around and went shopping about 10 times. It's hard to take care of someone who's sick in another country. Anyway, praise God, Matt was feeling better by dinner so all in all he was only sick for about 15 hours.

Wednesday we had a wonderful day which made up for a crappy Tuesday. We made our way to Interlaken, Switzerland. We took a nice walk/hike and hung out by the most beautiful mountain lake I've ever seen. We just put our feet in the freezing water and read for the afternoon. Then we walked back to the train station and took the train to the Bern, Switzerland took a walking tour of the downtown and had a Mexican dinner that was delicious. Finally we headed back to Freiburg and got home just after midnight. Today we are trying to pack and enjoy our last day here.
