Today was a fairytale!!!

So it has been another two weeks and I have been so excited to blog about this last weekend. Chris and I decided to go see a castle!! It took us three hours to get there but well worth it!! We drove to the city of Cochem were the famous Cochem castle rest high up on the hilltop. This castle was first built around 1000 ad but then destroyed by French soldiers. It was later rebuilt using the original plans but then taken over by some rich guy which did the inside that is why the inside is more up to date so to speak. We actually got to go inside with a tour. There they took us through different rooms showing us the uniqeness and what made those rooms special. My favorite room was the knight room it was all dark wood with a beautiful ivory ceiling. The details in these rooms are incredible. This castle like I said sits on the hill top for protection and it overlooks the river for trade purposes. The man that redid the inside loved wood carvings so this whole castle wood was amazing!!! He could totally decorate my house becasue it is beautiful. Here are some pics......





The weekend before Chris and I went to a basketball game. Lena a girl I work with got us tickets. It is like our NBA it is an international team were half of the team are American. It was so fun there stadium wasnt that much bigger then our high school, but it was loud and crazy the whole time. When you got to your seat they gave you this fan that you clap with which makes the whole stadium super loud. Everybody claps the whole time and at the same beat. They play american music it was so fun. The team we cheered for were the Artland Dragons. It was a close game the whole time, it was very physical at the end of the game there was a total of five technicals!!! Ya it was crazy. But in the last quarter there was a huge dunk over two huge guys which brought the whole house off there seats and cheering and to end it all they won on a buzzer beater three pointer. Well worth the money so much fun.
We are doing great and I still cant believe we have been here for one month still missing everybody and are wishing we could be sharing these memories with our friends and families. Hope everybody is doing great lots of love till next time....
