As you all know, i went to Nurnberg this weekend with Judd and Colby. IT WAS SO MUCH FREKAING FUN, and a break from daily life was more than welcome. After playing with these zillions of santa clauses with Justus, I headed out to catch my train. After like 3 hours or so, i reached nurnberg where i was greeted by these two goons. please notice the mug that colby's holding. haha i have one, too. so you pay a 2 euro deposit on the mugs so that you walk around then bring them back to the little stand, so we were like oh ok. so we buy the drink and give them the 2 extra Euro and drink out of these AWESOMLY cute little mugs. then we go back to return them, AND THE LITTLE STANDS CLOSED! ha like, what? but either way, we got two awesomly cute 2 euro mugs! i want to drink out of mine all the time! awww a little shoe! here we were all in the Youth hostel common room, and i think it was..hmmm...3 am saturday morning or so. haha yah.

Here's us in the common room of our youth hostel. it was so cute and aww. haha judd had never slept in a youth hostel before, so he was really suprised when we went to bed and there were 12 other people in our room. haha ignorance is bliss? trozdem haben wir spass gehabt, und ich habe unsere Jugendheberge total Klasse gefunden. Of course, it took us like an hour to find our youth hostel, and we asked these police officers wehre to go, and they were like oh yah, straight ahead! and THERE WAS A WALL THERE! like what? ok, police men...oh our way looking we saw this, and i mean, judd just couldn't resist.
ok so on saturday night, we were on our way home from the Nurnberg Stadt, but we had to take the bus b/c our hotel was a little out of the main city. it was about 1 or so, and we had to wait 20 mins for the next bus. the bus stop was on this 6 LANE HIGHWAY, where there were absolutly NO cars AT ALL! haha so we of course couldn't resist taking pictures, because honestly, would that EVER happen in the USA? i think not. i'm not dead.

Saturday afternoon, we saw the Nazi rally grounds of Nurnberg, they're quite famous, but we had to walk along this HUGE street called "the big street" haha or Grosse strasse, auf deutsch, and we asked this guy if where we wanted to go was in walking distance, and he was like yah yah, no problem! so we were like cool, so we walked, and walked, and walked, and walked for like 45 minutes along the grosse strasse, then WALKED SOME MORE. ahhh haha it was sooooo long and soooo cold, and i got a little string of Hypoxia, so i just started cracking up at everything,and i think judd and colby both think im crazy. naturally i had to take a picture to commimerate (i cant spell) our long journey! haha i think judd had more fun than colby and i? umm yes. he did, though, hahaaaa find out that his hat was made in canada.
on our way home one night from the Weihnachtsmarkt, we came across THIS! and there were like bikes like this, just hanging out on the bike racks! HA

We went into this famous museum thing, so here's Judd and colby....being judd and colby? haa

and finally the Weihnactsmarks, which is more than beautiful in Nurnberg. when they say big, though, they mean BIG! there are these things that are famous in Nurnberg- 3 wurstchen in a brotchen or something like that, so we naturally had to eat those, and gingerbread cake is made in Nurnberg, so i brought some home for my lovely host family! MM lecker! this is simply a small taste of what a Weihnachtsmarkt is really like-especially the biggest/oldest one in Germany! LOVELY!
But now i am again home, ready to take on the adventures of LIFE! WOOHOOO!!!!! slash prepare for christmas slash get excited for the 24 slash EVERYTHING. i'm more ready now, i hope. yay christmas time! it really has flown by....
