Catching up with January and February…
During these two months we were able to spend a lot more time with friends here in Germany. We met for coffee, movies, etc. and just had a really good time here in Marburg. It was still very cold so we tried to keep warm through it all. We did receive an email in the middle of the month from the University letting us know of a possible open flat in the center of the city.
Catching up with March…
March was pretty slow going until the end of the month. Just a few days before Easter we were given the ‘okay’ to move into a flat in the center of the old city. We quickly began packing our belongings and moving into the new place. We now live right beneath the castle! In fact, the stairs to the castle are right outside our kitchen window. This flat is so central we were able to say ‘good-bye’ to the buses.
Just days later, and after plane delays, my parents arrived in Germany. They were lucky enough to witness our only true snow of the year. Yes, it snowed for about three days straight starting in the evening on Easter. In all, we probably got 2-3 inches of snow.
We had a great time showing my parents around our little city and we even took an English tour of Marburg which was very interesting. In turn, they rented a car and drove us around Germany to the places they (and I) used to live. We also drove up the Mosel and down the Rhein, ate great German cuisine, and drank great German wines. We had a blast!
