May 31, 2011 – In Germany!
I’m overseas!! Farthest I’ve ever been away from home in my life! Today (and technically yesterday) has been an exhausting one of basically travel.

| Waiting to leave at SeaTac! So excited! |
We left SeaTac at 6:45pm on a 9 hour flight to Heathrow Airport in London and arrived there around 11:50. I didn’t really sleep at all – dozed here and there, but a comfortable position evaded me (surprise, surprise).
The second flight (London to Frankfurt) was delayed for a bit in both boarding and take-off, but it was just an hour long in terms of air time. Then we had an hour long bus ride to our current town – Bad Kreuznach – and our spa hotel, the Domina. It’s pretty schnazzy. J
Dinner was in a local restaurant at about 8:30 this evening. We got lost walking there for a bit (thank goodness for our fully-fluent-in-German British tour guide Jenny!) The meal was 3 courses of what I guess is traditional German fare. First course, a to die for creamy asparagus soup; second, melt-in-your-mouth meatloaf and spatzle (German pan noodles); and dessert was a strange but delicious strawberry-filled dumpling thing under a warm, sweet cream sauce.
The best part was that Steph could eat it! :D Yay for our first meal abroad!
I’m falling asleep writing this, so now it’s time to go…
Gute Nacht!
Love&Harmony,
Erin
