Back in Germany

I went home to NC for about 2 months to see family, friends, and pets. It was not a relaxing trip that's for sure but I did enjoy staying busy and getting some sewing done. I didn't get anywhere near as much done as I had hoped but that's what happens when you try to split your time in 10 different directions on a time limit. I arrived at my apartment in Tübingen 18 hours after take off from Raleigh. I was so tired I only unpacked and then slept for 12 hours. Since then I have been exhausted and can't seem to get my sleep schedule straight. I am getting closer though and trying to get back in a workout/eating routine which I know will really help how I feel. I have only run errands, taken care of classes and hung out with my tandem partner. I took some pictures around the Neckar while I was waiting for here.

 She and I went to the animal shelter here and walked a dog. Evidently in Germany they house strays and pets who's owners are out of town at the same place. So the dog we walked had a family but I'm sure he still appreciated the exercise. I didn't take very many pictures just because there really wasn't much to photograph. There was a cool looking art exhibit on the way to the shelter but it didn't open till night.

This was outside the art exhibit

We then walked around the Altstadt and got lunch at a vegetarian Döner restaurant which was very tasty. After that we just hung out and talked for a while and then I went to the gym. It has been so nice and sunny here but I am so pale that I got burned just from walking around town. It is already too hot for me! I was hoping it would stay in the 50-60's for a while longer here but it's already in the 70's.

I enjoy caring for plants and animals so, since I can't have the latter, I bought a little plant. I know I can't take it home so I'll just give it away before I leave but I though it was cute and it was 1€. :)
