Passports and Paintbrushes

Hello friends! I apologize for the radio silence around here lately– I’ve been busy readjusting to life in Germany. My brain is on over-drive trying to speak German and remember all the little ins and outs of another culture. It’s been both challenging and rewarding. Below are a few photos from the last week and a half in Frankfurt if you’d like to see 🙂Strollin’ around the Altstadt with a friend. Are those building gorgeous or what?I love the mix of old and new architecture in Frankfurt. Fun fact: it is the only city in Germany with a big, recognizable skyline.The Alter Oper, or old opera, is one of my favorite spots in town.My friend and I at the indoor market. The flower market is so beautiful. It made me want to have a garden like a good German!Friends at small group. It was so nice to reconnect. The little boy above has grown so much in the last year and his German is better than mine now. It blew my mind.This kiddo turned one years old. I went with a friend to his birthday party in a small town just outside Frankfurt. I want a cake like that for my 23rd birthday this year!Now I’m off to Cologne for a week of Fulbright orientation. Wish me luck!
