As I said earlier, my Christmas was spent in Germany with my friend Ben. I was there a grand total of almost 3 weeks and it was exactly how I hoped I would spend my vacation. Watching movies, taking hot showers, doing a little bit of sightseeing, catching up with Judith and Claudia, and of course, eating as much chocolate, lebkuchen, and cheese as I could fit in my stomach. It was heavenly. Of course I think I probably bored the bajeezus out of Ben, but what can you do.
The first thing we did in Germany, and pretty much the extent of my sightseeing (haha) was the Christmas markets in Nuremburg. They started there, so they have the greatest Lebkuchen and Glühwein. This I can attest for. It was amazing.
Then Christmas was spent at Ben's house with his English friend Alistair, Alistair's mom, dad, and brother who came to visit him, and his Argentinian friend Felipe. It was a nice worldly Christmas, but of course the conversation ended up being about America nearly the whole time. Haha. Oh well. Can't seem to escape it. Either way, Ben made pretty much the most impressive Christmas meal of all time (sorry mom). There was a chicken, a duck, some ridiculously delicious gravy, potatoes, veggies, and plenty of wine and Christmas sweets/cheeses. I'd like to say I totally helped make the meal delicious, but in reality I sat at the table drinking wine, whining about how I felt useless most of the time. But I did provide some Christmas music for good cheer! Maybe that counts for something?
For those of you that don't have facebook, here's a picture of the Christmas crew, minus Ben who was taking the picture.
: ) It made the whole shebang feel much more home-y.
