Winter has arrived

Well, we have left the land of pizza and pasta and arrived in the land of beer and sausages.
And as we arrived in Germany the winter season arrived at the same time. They said it was very unusual weather for this time of the year because even though it is a rainy time it is usually a lot warmer. So, we were not really prepared for it to be this cold and we had only packed a few things for cooler weather but we are making it okay. We mostly stay inside. We are staying with friends of Camilo's from Venezuela. We are staying about 2 hours north of Munich. Everything is really green here and so beautiful. We took the train from Venice, Italy to Munich through Austria. It was so pretty. We would like to have the chance to go there, but it may have to be another trip.
It is a good thing we are staying with people here that speak the language because we have no clue. So far we have made it okay because even though we do not speak French or Italian we know a few words to get by and it is pretty easy to pick up. But German is a whole other thing. We know danke (thank you) and that is about it. When someone speaks to us we just stand there and smile.
Well, I am sorry I do not have much to report on this blog, I know it is not too exciting, but I will try to update in a few days with something a little more exciting.
