Willkomen in Deutschland!

Well we've made it to Germany! A couple of weeks ago actually, but I didn't really have anything exciting to write about yet. And really, I still don't. We haven't been out of the hotel (or the post) much because first off, we don't have a car and have been looking for a place to live and Vern has been busy with training. So far, we don't have anywhere to live, but we're constantly on the search for a place. 


The homes here are absolutely amazing! I love them. I wish I could live in them all! It's not that there aren't any options for places to live, but we want to find the perfect place for us. We're being particular but we will be living in this home for the next few years so naturally we want it to be perfect! We've even considered buying a home out here, but we're waiting on that one for a bit. We'll come back to that in a few months. But for now, I think we are just going to rent. The homes are so old-fashioned, vintage, antiquated, and down right adorable. We went and looked at a place today that was built in the 1800's. You don't find many of those anymore in the states!




             This is a castle we saw in Idar-Oberstein right by where we live. There's pretty much a Schloß (or castle) in every city out here.


         This is a Church in Idar-Oberstein that was built right into the Mountain!! Pretty cool. We went inside to look around.

Definitely more to come and believe me they will get more exciting, especially once we get a car and can get out and about :)
