Hello folks! Since our last post, we spent a day in Rotterdam, and then made our way to Jay's cousin's in Germany. We're in the small town of Dettenhausen, which is in southern Germany. We spent all day Wednesday traveling from Amsterdam here, and started to get used to the train system. Jay almost left me standing on the platform when he jumped onto a train that was leaving once, but I have a feeling that won't be the last time that happens. Our Eurail passes make train travel simple, and there are trains in even the small towns here, so we made it practically all the way to Jay's cousin's doorstep by train.
We're excited to be in Germany because, as Jay said, "We're in beer country!" Jay can talk all day about Bavarian purity laws and Germans only using barley, water, hops, and yeast. The amount of different beers that can come out of those four ingredients is crazy to a non-beer connoisseur such as myself.
It's great being able to stay with family this far away from home! We'll post pictures later, once I figure out how to hook up my iPod to a Mac...
