Let it snow, Let it snow

It couldn’t be any prettier. You know these little ginger houses? Well imagine a bunch of Ginger houses in a row and some snow frosted trees, little sugar frosting side walks and colorful icing as the font of the houses.. It is stunning and breath taking how beautiful it looks outside.
Little foot print, cat prints and dog prints in the snow. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect weather right before Christmas time. It is something so special. I finally feel like its Winter.

I hear a lot of People complain and a lot of news articles/ news reports in television saying that this is a very hard winter and that so many flights had to be stopped and had to shut down almost the entire airports all over in Europe. Germany, France, London and more. An this had been going on since the last 2 weeks, I came right on the day were it was less snow, but the day after every flight had to be cancelled. (So much to great timing right,smile)




(quite the chaos in Frankfurt)
It even snowed in Greece and they just can’t handle it. I am not sure if some greeks have ever seen snow (no seriously)
I have been really enjoying the weather.
So far I am enjoying it very much in Germany as well. I work for 3 hours at the most 2-3 days a week. The job is easy, since Germans don’t really focus on customer service, they just want to be left alone when they eat. And the will tell ya when the want another drink or shot, or beer, refills aren’t free, so its great. Serving compared From US and Germany, well.. Loving it I can’t lie. And then a lot of relaxing the rest of the days.
Today I ate this beautiful meal with my parents at the restaurant I am employed at:
We got started of with Good German Bread and “Schweine schmalz” which is a flavored pig belli extract and it had bacon bits in it too. Delicious

Marone Soup

Then we ate this beautiful colorful salad

(I can’t tell you how delicious it was and how absolutely beautiful, just so diverse) (unfortunately I won’t get my Camera until Santa clause, or since I am in Germany the Christ child stops by on the 24th, so I am really trying to have pictures that look as accurate as possible. I promise it will be right on time for the most beautiful time in Germany. Christmas-Weihnachten.)

Then following with the main course “Paniertes Wienerschnitzel with Spaetzle a German nuddle.

(believe me the plate looked exactly like this one but imagine twice the portion, twice the nuddles and two Wiener schnitzel, which is a pork that is country fried, I had way too much leftovers.)
Okay and the price for this made to order made from scratch everything was 13 euros. Compare that to USA that was quite the awesome meal for a good price thinking that it probably will be my dinner, lunch and dinner again.
It was quite fun.
When I first got here I was wondering how I would even get in contact with any of my old friends but I really didn’t have to do much, the second I walked in my house coming from the airport, one friend called, right 1 minute after that another did and right before we went to dinner today, my neighbor showed up and rang the bell. It's great. It's really great to see my old friends. But I also Can’t wait to have a new, newer, and the very  newest experience in Spain, with no personal history …
Stay tuned..!
