We also got to meet up with some of our German friends from China, Luise and Freddy! It was so good to catch up with two other fellow SSIS classmates! We drank Glüwein, a mulled wine, that is served in tradition in all the Christmas Markets across Germany! It was pretty good, and I'm not even a wine person!

On my last day in Germany, Denise, Wolfgang, and one of Wolfgang's friends named Joe, and I all went to a completely indoor water park called Palm Springs! It was a huge facility, with more than a dozen hot tubs, tanning beds, indoor and outdoor pools and jacuzzi despite the 0ºC weather!
And then to top it off over a ten huge water slides! It was such a fun day, filled with the right amount of thrilling water rides and then sitting and relaxing in the hot tub. Also got to experience the popular group showering that occurs in Europe... an experience and I will leave it at that :P

My trip overall was a great time visiting with Denise and her family and with new and old friends! The food was excellent, and the weather cooperated for the most part! What a unique experience to stay with friends and see their city through their eyes rather than through a hotel tour guide! I'm so glad I took this semester to travel around and see my two friends and experience Europe for the first time! Denise, Chloe, and I are already planning 2014 Summer Reunion! Can't wait to see what happens!
Until the next adventure.... xx
