Germany: Dazed + Confused


Good Morning!

Looks to be about 5:30am EST but a ripe 11:30am here in Mannheim, Germany.

Consequently, my internal clock is all out of whack. My body thinks it's 5:30, my brain thinks it's 11:30. Strange and a little disorienting.

Besides the chrono-shock though, things have been great. I made it from Frankfurt to Mannheim in one piece (thanks to my cousin, Clara) and I'm now in my sister's apartment. This morning I had cereal, yogurt, and coffee for breakfast and then we made our way into Heidelberg on the tandem bike to pick up a power adapter for my computer. For those of you who don't know, Europeans have different plugs than Americans so when coming over here it's good to be prepared for that sort of thing.

Tonight is the week-before-the-wedding party. Frank has access to this abandoned restaurant downstairs and that's where we'll be doing that. I've been put in charge of music and that's finally coming together as well (and that's why we needed the adapter). Everything from Michael Jackson to Tracy Chapman and back.

The weather is gorgeous. Relatively cool (70s). Later on today I may be helping Frank with party food and drinks and then it's only hours until the fun begins (around 4pm)!

No awkward language situations to report so far, however it's only been about 24 hours.

I hope everyone is having a lovely sleep and I'll be back tomorrow!
