So I am currently living in a small college-type area of Ravensburg known as Weingarten.  It literally translates to “Wine Garden.” Cool, no? I haven’t seen any yet but I am keeping an eye out for these gardens.  In the meantime, I haven’t really done much exploring, but I wanted to share a few photos with you:

These photos were taken on Sunday when Thorsten was here with me.  We took a small stroll in search of whatever was possibly open on Sunday in Germany.

We finally found it!

Then we got food and went back to my apartment.  I am living in a four bedroom apartment with two students and an intern from my company.  I  have the two students (a girl named Dorothea and a young man named Adonis….I’m not kidding – side note: he’s from Syria but spent six years in Ohio and was very excited to have another English speaker in the house).  I have yet to meet the intern but I have seen his back while I walked into the bathroom one time.  Honestly, I mostly keep to myself.  After years of living alone, I definitely enjoy my solitude.

So without further ado here’s my little private space:

It’s not much.  The bed is actually one of those Ikea folding couches.  I brought my own bedding to protect it from the dog.  I also brough my feather pillow from home because I have not had good luck with European pillows. But that’s not the best part:

 

My room is actually an entry-way converted into a room.  But as you can see, they put two layers of blinds so I have privacy but still some light.  Also, I have my own personal entry way, which makes taking Abner out nice and quick.  Not that my roommates mind.  The two who have met Abner like him 😀

Anyway, that’s a little bit about my living situation.  I will have more time to explore soon so there will be more photos 😀

Until Friday!
