1st day in Germany

Okay, I think I'm in love...with Germany! Everything here is so green and open and everyone is really nice. The temperature is great and there seems to be just the right amount of breeze in the air (nothing too hard, but just enough to keep the air flowing). The food is absolutely AMAZING (I think I had one of the best dinners I've had in awhile tonight at a beergarden) and the beer is definitely worth spending money on. There was a little gathering tonight with all the trainers, trainees, some other MWR people, and some of the previous Management Trainees (we're going to buddy w/ some of them, so that should be pretty cool). After the dinner we walked around Heidelburg taking in some of the sights, sounds, and smells (and burning off a little of the chocolate mousse we ate :) ). The environment is unlike anything I've experienced in the U.S. and I'm ready to get to Bamberg and start training/learning and traveling. Alright, the jet lag has definitely caught up with me, so I'm off to bed. Good night!
