I will start with saying that the German keyboard is a bit different. I will get through it so don't worry.
My flight went well. Long and tedious as I found it hard to sleep but manageable. Nicole picked me up and we went back to her place where I met her temporary roommate and took a shower. We then headed out to have coffee on the river, Main. She lives on block from the water. We sat there and ate German marble cake and drank our milky lattes. After a couple hours Nicole insisted we have saurgespritzte- a sour apple wine with sparkeling water. After making sure to switch sides of the table so as to sun ourselves evenly we headed back to her house to meet some friends who picked us up and drove us to Rüdesheim. A town on the Rhine known for their wine making. We learned this area is responsible for 3% of the worlds reisling, in fact. We arrived just after 8pm and started our first bottle of reisling. It is now asparagus season so it would have been a mistacke to not take advantage of that. I ordered what can only be described as a bowl of butter and cheese sauce that had white and green asparagus as well as potatoes floating in it. Delicious if not completely, sinfully rich.
6 bottles of wine and 1 bottle of champagne later we toasted Nicole and found a cab to take up up to the hostel where the 8 of us passed out. Thats right folks- I didn`t go to bed until after midnight.
This morning we lounged on our balcony and ate breakfast. I am now back in Nicole´s apt getting ready for bday shoe shopping and party prep. I promise you photos in the next couple days...
