Skylar and I will be spending five months (May - October) in Heilbronn, Germany with as much additional travel as we can. Here I will post updates and pictures from our adventures.

21 Mai - Lots of nothing

Today is Ascension day and therefore everything is closed.  We thought about going for a bike ride or just exploring, but it rained all day.  So, we did a whole lot of nothing.  We slept in.  I did more laundry and cleaned up a bit.  

In my boredom, I watched Dexter.  When I was searching for online TV in German, I ran across this site, but it is in English.  People have suggested that I would like Dexter given my taste of morbid and scientific things and I have ignored them because I just don't really watch TV, but I must admit, I do kind of like it.

I also just about finished a knitting project that I have been working on for a couple months now... starting and restarting.

By the end of the day, we were both going stir crazy, so we braced the rain and went for a bike ride.  I have been craving pizza and it turns out that the cute little Italian place that is just a few blocks from us was open and had pizza, so we ate a pricey but delicious dinner.  We even got after dinner cordials that the waiter brought.  I can't drink straight liqueur like that and thought it would be a little odd to do a shot of Amaretto, so we left them, but it was nice.

Yes this was one of the more exciting days in Germany so far :)

Dexter is a really good show, surprising enough. I wish they'd put it back onto commercial TV. I'm not paying for premium channels.

Glad your day was so exciting.

Yeah and now the online site that I found said it was removed do to infringement. Oh-well, TV rots the brain and keeps me inside :)
