Well, we have officially decided to trek off post tomorrow! We are walking to the bus station at 9am, taking the bus to the train station here in Vilseck, and riding the train 1.5 hours to Nuremberg.
We both admitted to each other earlier this evening that we were nervous for this first little trip. I guess it's mostly just taking this first step into the unknown. We haven't lead the most exciting life here on post yet: walking to & from the gym, commissary and PX daily...so we know tomorrow will bring the first of many new experiences for us here in Germany.
Apparently Nuremberg has a few fun touristy things to offer. A castle, for one! But also the familiar: like a giant shopping mall.
So, wish us luck on this endeavour. Of course, I will blog ASAP about how our Saturday went. Until then...auf wiedersehen!
Oh! And now I have another favorite thing about life on post! When you go to the movie theatre, you have to stand for the national anthem before the film starts. I felt very patriotic and a little cheesey.
Have fun! It is a little scary your first time but soon you will be old pros!!! One must see is Rothenburg ob der Tauber!! You are not to far from it and it is a great town! It will be especially fun at Christmas time (as will Nurenberg) but a great place any time of year!! Still has a wall surrounding it - you can walk around the wall and it is famous for it's Christmas shops.
