When the hikes get longer the beers get bigger...

Today I learned some new things about myself, well not really new persay, but I definitely confirmed that I am not (and probably never will be) and athletic person. After the 3 mile hike up a hill to see a tower, some very large beers were in order (1 liter of beer in one serving to be exact). But despite the unwelcome physical exertion, it was a nice little outing. We only got lost like four times, and we got to see some pretty amazing views. Luckily the weather here today was beautiful, 75 degrees and sunny. Unfortunately I have yet to invest in any sunscreen though, so my lily white face suffered a bit. But it was worth it in the end, we could see all the way to France up there.

Panoramas to come on facebook so stay posted!
In other news I am venturing to Landstuhl this coming weekend to visit my childhood home and my 1st grade teacher Frau Peaceman. I am going to play my violin in her orchestra with her, and I couldn't be more excited. She is the reason I started playing, and I feel as though I am achieving a life long goal. But between now and then it's back to the grindstone (AKA school), and even though I am really looking forward to really starting my life here it will be bitter sweet to say goodbye to this lovely extended spring break I happened into. On that note it's off to bed for me and off to classes early tomorrow. 
Guten Nacht!
