Riding the trains are a great way to get around—it’s quiet, fast and cheap. The trains run through the cities and the country so we are seeing everything from factories, to homes, to vineyards (lots of vineyards straight up the steep hills).
I got my first 100 euros in the ATM—it’s like Monopoly money—so colorful! I am glad that the exchange rate is so much better—about $1.25 to the 1 euro. I bought my first amazing sandwich—the bread was great and it had fresh mozerella cheese and tomatoes. Wundabar!
I’m amazed at how much of the rules of the German language I remember from Seb, Jacob and Dad, but I still don’t know what they mean. I do have a little dictionary to check it out. The culture shock isn’t too bad yet.
And yes, we had to change trains in Ulm--the sister city to New Ulm, MN. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see much of the town or the postoffice. But I can say I've been there!
