On Saturday we went to the VfL game since it was so nice outside. The stadium is just a couple of blocks from our apartment (which we were a little worried about when we first looked at our place), but we are on the far side of it (not between the stadium and downtown) so the traffic on our side really isn’t bad at all. This was our second game- we even broke down and bought a scarf to fit in with everyone else. When VfL scores everyone swirls them around in the air over their heads so their is purple everywhere. Thankfully VfL won this game 2-1 (the last game we went to they tied), so maybe we aren’t bad luck!
On Sunday we skyped with the Philo’s to catch up before baby girl Philo arrived (this was her due date). Little Mia Maria Philo was born on May 6th and we got to see her a couple of days later once they were home via skype. For the trip home from the hospital she even wore a onesie that was from Kelly, Morgan and me! We can’t wait to meet our future God-daughter in person! 🙂
Also, last week we tried out Spargel (the white asparagus that is very popular in our part of Germany). Thankfully our German teacher told us that you have to peel it and that when you boil it you need to add some sugar to the water to help with the bitterness… we wouldn’t have known to do either since you don’t do that with green asaparagus! We just put a little butter on ours and thought it was ok (I still prefer green asaparagus), but we’ve been told it is much better with Hollandaise sauce on it, so we’ll try that next time.
Tomorrow we head to London for a few days and we are so excited, time to finish packing!
