Tübingen

We got to Tübingen on the 27th without too much difficulty. Our original train was delayed for about an hour, but we were able to get here without any problems, just a little bit later than we had planned on. The first day here we met with Thomas and Christiana and had lunch and then wentwalking through the city center. Tübingen seems to be a really pretty town. I can´t wait to get the chance to explore it further.

My room is a bedroom with it´s own bathroom and shower. There is a kitchen on the floor that everyone shares. I am pretty pleased with the accomodations. My walls are depressingly bare at the moment but I should be able to remedy that soon. I don´t have internet in my room yet, but as soon as I do more elaborated explanations and pictures will come.

I went to Mass at St. John´s, the local Catholic Church. I was actually able to follow the entire Mass for the first time. The congregation there was actually a community not just a bunch of visitors. It was nice to be a part of a community again.

Tübingen seems to be a great college town, actually it wouldn´t exist without the college. I am going to go out and start exploring. I have to take advantage of the blue sky that is such a rare thing in Germany.
