Weekend With Emily!

So Emily came to visit this weekend from Edewecht (a small city outside of Oldenburg). She arrived on Friday evening and I introduced her to Hannover by first introducing her to Giovanni's a world award winning ice cream here in Hannover (man, was it tasty). We came home, dropped off her things and headed back into the city to hang out with some other au pairs for the eveing.




Saturday was a full day! We woke up, rode our bikes into the city and meet Jenna and Chelsey (two Hannover au pairs) for our trip to Hameln, the city where the Pied Piper, well, piped. The city was full of tourists and it was a lot of fun. We followed these rats around town to see all the cool and interesting sites in the city. After biking home, we got ready to hang out in the city for the second night in a row (I know, party animals, right...haha) We visited a few bars, almost karaoked (thank goodness we didn't), and had a lot of fun.

Sunday was another great day. We visited the Royal Gardens in Hannover, one of the best in the country, according to the Fodor's Germany 2006 book (but really it was amazing!). The beautiful gardens were built around a castle, but the castle was destroyed during the war and never rebuilt but the gardens still remain. Then we gathered upvisited the city one last time before sending her back to Edewecht. I can't wait to
visit her!

Note: I am going to post all my pictures on flickr soon and I will post the website when that happens!













I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to hear from you!
