Tour Of Bamberg







Today we had a tour of the city we live in, which is Bamberg. It is so pretty! We had so much fun, and tried to get as many pictures as we could. I'm not very good at putting them on here, so this might be messy! Some of the pictures are from a cathedral close by, it is so BIG!! We were blocked off from most of it, but we got to see the main rooms and see where the pope who built it over 1,000 years ago is buried. 

We're settling in pretty well. We have a house off post, which we like because we get more of a european experience. We have a garden that we planted (it took forever pulling all the weeds out and planting new things in it!) We have roses, raspberries, strawberries, sprouts, and herbs in it, and it looks really nice. Our neighbors are so much fun, they don't speak English well but we talk pretty often. The people here have been extremely nice to us, and we've been able to pick up a little German. It's a really hard language!!

So we got a car last weekend, which we needed really badly. It's nice getting around on our own now. We've made friends with a lot of people, and we're really loving it here. Winter is coming though, and it's started to get cold. It hasn't rained here for 2 years, but it might this year. I hope so, I hear it's no fun without snow because all it does is rain.

Enjoy the pictures!

Love the pics. Isn't it crazy how much Greek style architecture & statues the Germans had? I swear they were just a bunch of copy cats. Still, it is beautiful.
