These Are a Few of Our Favorite Things...

Being that we'll be heading back to the States in T-minus 1 day, Brian and I started thinking about all of the things we're going to miss once we leave Germany... So, without further ado, here's a few of our favorite things from Germany...

Der Bodensee (the lake that we live on)

The Alps (no more hiking, rock climbing, or simply just staring at them across the lake...)

Taking a bicycle everywhere

German festivals

Brezeln

German bread

German bier (and the fact that a half liter of beer is cheaper than a half liter of Coke here! :))

Kasespaetzle

Close proximity to all of our friends

Thursday morning Breakfast club

Half-timber houses

Ampelmann (the crosswalk symbol that is found in the eastern part of Germany... He's so cute! :))

Friday Farmer's Market

Oktoberfest

Dirndls and Lederhosen

Friendly people

The long and rich history

Beautiful cathedrals

Castles

Weihnachtsmarkts (Christmas markets)

Gluhwein

Being within a half hour drive from Austria and Switzerland

Being in the heart of Europe (We can easily fly and/or drive to so many European countries!)

The gorgeous flower displays that can be found virtually everywhere

Public transportation

Summertime at the Bodensee

Wonderful friends

Bier benches

Outdoor dining

Meeting friends for coffee at cute little cafes

Ritter Sport

Walks along the lake

Being able to walk everywhere

And the list could go on and on... :)
