Germany, My New Home for a Little While

Finally, made it to Germany! I spent 3 days in southern Germany before making it to the middle of the country where my new city exists, Kassel. 

Kassel is really not remarkable (the one thing everyone talks about is their newly crowned UNESCO heritage site) but it seems to be a nice city with a great quality of life. (Although everyone would rather be in Berlin...understandable.) There is a beautiful park (think smaller Central Park with very few people with wonderful views and small bridges) in walking distance. I did a 3.5 mile run this morning. Slopes, hills, lush greenery, stairways .... fantastic workout! (Little did I know how much my thighs would hurt the next day.) The air was crisp, fresh, and cool. Felt great! I can walk to work and practically everywhere including restaurants, bars, and the grocery stores...I guess like in most European cities. It is a refreshing change from the States.
