Football Football Football!

I am so excited for today. Fall weekends in Texas have to be like Christmas weekend to the rest of world. So when I decided to go on over to Europe for a year, I knew I would be missing my favorite time of the year - Fall football Saturdays and Sundays. So in order to prepare myself, I went ahead and bought a Slingbox (yes I know, I’ve put this link up like 10 times, but it is such an awesome idea), so I can spend my Sunday nights watching as much football as I can.

This morning I watched the replay of Baylor beating down Buffalo and I’m uber excited for next Saturday’s game against TCU. I was also able to join a fantasy football league that we all put down $25 and so I’m hoping for a good payday sometime in January.

Anyways - life has been good here in Hamburg. I’ve met a bunch of new people who are now forcing me to speak Deutsch. This has been a good change from last month where I was basically working only on my Spanish (which, I also needed to work on). I feel like I’m making some serious progress, but it’s going to be weird moving from Hamburg to Frankfurt here in two weeks now.

This past weekend we went out to a bar that one of our friend works at. The place was awesome - first off we got in for free and it just so happened to be Salsa night. After struggling to Salsa for a long while, our friend took us upstairs to go and check out the bar’s ‘Ice Bar’ which was totally awesome. It’s kind of completely random that a bar here in Hamburg has a third floor with an Ice Bar. All in all, it was awesome to have met someone who can ‘hook us up’ with a good time.

I really don’t have too much to say. I’m really really still enjoying myself but my week is basically the same. Next week I’m going to Bremen, which I’ve heard is a nice city about an hour and half southwest of Hamburg. I’m also starting to plan the rest of my trip (Spain and Italy), but I’ll update all of that whenever I’ve got that set.

I’ll put up some pictures whenever I get some! Sorry for the lame post, but until next time.. God Bless!
