Plans....Schmlans

So our plan was to go to the midievil town of Rothenberg on our first day in Germany, but Kara (after reading that just saying "Hi" people will be nice) says "Hi" to a guy on the train when were letting others go by.....and to say the least within an hour of landing in Germany had beers in hand. It happens that a "Kegeln" club (German Bowling team) were on there way south for a weekend of kegeln and two of their members were ill. Long story short we detour to Bamberg and drink beer after beer, go out to dinner at a local restaraunt and then played kegeln. Kegeln is a played with 9 pins and a smaller ball. The lanes we used were the same (ish) as bowling, but normally it is narrow at first and gets wider nearer the pins. They gave us the room intended for their friends and it was awesome. A very comfy bed with comforters :) and bathroom...so nice to have a hot shower after the plane. In the morning we ahd a traditional breakfast of bread with cheese and salami or butter and jam. The coffee is awesome...I put milk in it and it barely changes color, yum. After breakfast we toured the city (had more beers) and then took the train to Ingolstadt. And now we are in Ingolstadt for the night then off to Oktoberfest, back on our schedule.

Love to all, we miss you and cant wait to bring back our stories to share with you all.

Proust!
