The last six weeks in Marburg have been amazing. I'm going to miss all the fun trips from Studentendorf to Rudolphsplatz or Stadthalle on the number 7 bus! The language course was really awesome and definitely helped my German. I think the best thing to come out of the six weeks in Marburg were the friendships. I know that I'm going to be seeing these people again around Germany sometime and later on in life. In ten, twenty, or thirty years, we'll think back to Marburg and whatever else comes our way (there will be a post on Oktoberfest) and reminisce about the good ol' days.
Mostly everyone from the Fulbright language course (2011-2012) with most of our teachers!
Two of my favorite people in the world, Marianna and Kim, and I in front of the Elisabethkirche.
Picture with Raphael, our fearless leader for the language program who basically was a savior for our problems and everything, at my last BBQ at Jose's! Thanks for everything! Also, this was the night before our exams and the next morning we were going to leave at 4 am for train to Munich for Oktoberfest! We had a few *bottles* of wine ... i.e. look at Marianna's face.
These pictures aren't in order, but above is the group going to our favorite Auflauf place for Mary's birthday! Mary, me, Dave, Natalie, Mariko, Amie (and her head), Kirsten, and Tyler. Auch, the above is pretty much a must-take-photo when in the Aufzug (elevator) to the Oberstadt. We've become elevator mirror photo experts. Lol.
During our language course, we also had a cooking class with German recipes! Kim and I ended up doing this smoked trout-apple salad. It didn't look appetizing at first, but it turned out really well!
I also got to cook Spätzle! Exciting!
