Easter round two

Today:
We woke up at our leisure which was so nice! It was about 9:30 I think and we came out and had breakfast with the family. Then we got ready quickly to go visit a famous town, Tubingen, with Sarah's cousin as our tour guide. She brought her German to English book so she could give us all the details and check on the words she didn't know - but she did an impressive job and was so nice to take us around. The town is where her school (University) is. So we walked the town, took pictures, learned about it and then finished with dessert in a local shop. Then we went to the Ritter Sport chocolate factory but couldn't go in because they were closed for Easter Monday. In Germany they celebrate Easter on Sunday and Monday. Then we left and went home to celebrate Easter with Anita's (Sarah's mom) family. We had dessert and coffee, then played games inside and outside and then enoyed another great meal with their family. I learned a few German phrases to be able to introduce myself to their family and to wish their cousin a happy birthday. That was pretty fun and David, Sarah's little brother, is super patient with me:)

We left around 8:30 and came back to their house where we are staying one more night because the train to our next destination wouldn't have arrived until 9 p.m. and it was a little too late to go into the town so Anita encouraged us to stay - and we are so happy to be here again.

Tomorrow we will have brunch with Sarah and a few of her friends at 9:30 then leave for the train at 11. I am very glad to have one more night in the most comfortable bed, warm house, and sweet family. The Lord, again and again, provides for us as we go along this trip.

Recap:
Quick recap on the days I missed. Friday we went to Rothenburg (because Salzburg was full) and we both loved it. It was so quaint and we had the best pizza in Europe so far! I had mushroom and onion, Josh stayed consistant with Salami.
The town was closed down mostly for Holy Friday (good friday) but we got up early Saturday to do a little shopping :)
We had seperate rooms and were both so excited about that. It may seem silly but after sharing rooms with people in hostels and even just being together so much having our own space was a nice break.

I can't remember if I gave info for Saturday but basically Sarah met us at the station and then we went shopping with her and her friend and brother. we went to her house and found towels, soap and lotion on our beds and water bottles with glasses by them at night. we had an amaying meal and talked with her family at dinner for 2.5 hours. Rebecca, her sister, made cookies so we walked in to the smell of "home" and have just been loving it ever since.

I'm really tired now so goodnight and hope to blog from Strasbourg tomorrow.
my love to all :)
