Bremen

Hey All! The beautiful fall weather I was telling you about last week is gone. In its place we have full cloud cover and highs in the 40s. Oddly enough, I've actually been enjoying the gray weather and cool temps. They are signs that the fall holidays are on their way and that we get to dig out our bone-chilling Halloween decorations.

You may have noticed in the terrifying picture above that there is a rather attractive red thing in the background. That is our new couch! And the evil skull candle holder is sitting on top of our new table. You will get to see more pictures of our newly furnished apartment at some point but that point is not today.

You may remember that Brenda went to Bremen last week. She had a wonderful time with her friend Juliane. Here are a couple iPhone-captured pictures of her trip.

If wikipedia is to be believed then touching a hoof will make wishes come true.

The Town Musicians of Bremen standing on top of a fountain's water pipe. Beneath is presumably a statue of one of the Seven Lazy Brothers; the main characters from a popular Bremen story. The short, short version of the story is that the brothers were lazy but still became successful in the end. A story I find rather inspirational.

I had better wrap things up here. We are getting dangerously low on coffee and our favorite coffee roaster (oh Wacker's, how I love thee) will be closing in a little over an hour. I hope you are doing great and I'll talk to you next week.
