A few weeks ago, we made a spontaneous decision (work related, for Dan) to visit our two friends in Germany. With a place to stay, good people to show us around, & plenty to get done, we booked two bus tickets for an almost week-long trip in the tiny town of Tübingen. & besides working, we got to catch up with Ryan & Kiki, explore the streets of their small city, ride our bikes through the windy countryside to Rottenburg, & eat as many German pretzels & apple strudels as we could. We also picked up the tastiest rhubarb jam from the market, a few cute postcards from a vendor, & sampled the second best chai latte that I've ever had in Europe.
