Oldies

Here are a few random pics from when Klaus came to visit in February. As you can tell the weather was still really cold, but the faint hint of sunshine sent everyone running outside anyways. Luckily now it's consistently warm - even the cold and rainy days are just like typical San Francisco weather, ha :)

Mauerweg, part 2

Recently Jake and I went on another day-long bike ride through the Mauerweg, and along the way we discovered a really cute village called Lübars. It was actually off the main trail, but it looked so quaint from afar that we decided to make a detour and stop for a drink at their local beirgarten. Apparently this area is know for horses - the main area of the village was full of stately old stables. While we were exploring we discovered several bed & breakfasts that overlook the countryside and horse trails - so Lübars could be a great spot for a weekend getaway of bike riding and relaxing - without having to get on a plane or train. Maybe once we get the new flat sorted out we'll actually have time to take an overnight trip!

Apologies for the crummy photos - I am still working with nothing but my 4 year old iphone, grr. I've actually attempted to buy a new phone 3 times now, but there is always something wrong with my passport, bank account, etc. Apparently the iphone gods are angry with me :|

Waffle!

oh, and Ikea :)

Jake and I rode our bikes to Ikea yesterday to scope out supplies for our new flat. This trip was just for research - we'll head back again next weekend to place orders for the kitchen, bed and couch. The flat we've been living in for the past year is fully furnished, so when we move at the end of the month we'll have to start over from scratch. We are just focusing on the essentials at first, so Ikea is definitely the easiest option - especially since they deliver! Then over the next few months we'll try to add pieces that we find at the local flea markets to give things a bit more personality. I'm already looking forward to our next trip to Ikea just so I can get another one of those waffles - seriously freaking delicious.
