Day 25: Kiss the Bear

Today was really hot, especially compared to the last few weeks. Jenny said it was 31 degrees, but it felt even warmer. I awoke a little late for breakfast, which like the other meals Jenny has made, was delicious.

Afterward I took a little time to check my emails as it had been some time since I had been online. In the afternoon we went into the city for a little walk. We went to the river to put our feet in for a while. The cold water was a really nice break from the sun and it was incredibly clear, which made for a nice picture.

After we dried our feet off, Jenny and I went to the local science museum. When I was a little younger, my mom and I had gone to this museum. I remembered much of it, but it was still a great time as the place is quite modern and has interesting hands-on exhibits about energy. They also have some interesting animals and stuffed creatures to look at, making the time we spent there quite interesting.

After we left the museum, we walked back to the flat, but along the way we stopped for some really inexpensive ice cream. It was probably the best vanilla ice cream I have ever had! By the time we got back it was finished, and being quite hot outside, it was nice to relax indoors. After sending a few emails it was time for a barbeque. The meal was incredibly delicious as they gave me countless delicious vegetables and meats…they even had fish. I cannot describe how good it was, but it might have been one of the best meals I have had in a while!

Following dinner, Stefan and I found a pretty cheap train ticket from a nearby city in Germany to the Frankfurt Airport. While it leaves a little early on Sunday morning, it was a good price and should get me there with plenty time to spare. We had some vanilla ice cream afterwards, and then Stefan showed me interesting things related to his work. Given his technical knowledge, he has quite an interesting TV setup and can easily transfer videos he has downloaded from the internet to the TV in the other room. We watched several episodes of “How I met Your Mother,” before heading off to bed. There is a bit of a thunderstorm right now, so hopefully it clears up by morning.
