This first half of the week was rather productive since I didn’t have anything exciting going on. This first event occurred Wednesday night when the current Fulbright cohort hosted an informal Q&A for the new Fulbright cohort. Thursday was a homemade dinner date night, the highlight of which was Facetimeing with my grandma [...]
This week was fairly routine with a few notable events thrown in the mix. On Monday I bought a poke bowl for lunch, and Kacper and I made gyros as a dinner-date. Tuesday was calm, while Wednesday was hectic as we had to completely empty out our kitchen because it is about to [...]
I spent a lot of time working on my laptop this week, some of which was dedicated to catching up on blog posts beginning with my parents visit. I caught up with a few friends via Facetime, did some yoga, and watched a bit of the Olympics (namely women’s soccer). Friday evening a [...]
My train arrived a little behind schedule in the late afternoon. Kacper kindly met me at the train station and made lunch for me. He even surprised me with some flowers! We spent some time catching up, before I spent the night unpacking and getting re-settled. Wednesday was a work day, mainly trying [...]

Thursday morning started early as we caught a train to Nürnberg. After arriving and dropping our stuff off at the hotel, we made our way to Nürnberg’s Justice Palace, where there is a museum dedicated to the Nuremberg Trials. In addition to learning about the development and inception of the judiciary process that [...]
As soon as my parents knew they could visit, they were looking forward to hiking in the Bavarian Alps. Here are pictures from our hike of the Wendelstein peak, starting from the town of Bayrischzell. This site is not an official site of the Fulbright Program or the U.S. Department of [...]

This was my busiest and probably most exciting week yet since my parents came to visit me! Monday was a prep-day for my parents' arrival. Since Kacper’s school friend was visiting from Berlin, a few of us went to an all-you-can-eat sushi place for lunch on Tuesday, and in the afternoon I [...]
