Exploring Baumholder in all its Glory

Howdy readers! It's been a few days. Last I wrote was on Saturday? Not a whole lot has happened since then.

Sunday was a lazy day, as most Sundays are.

Monday I started my school semester. Not so bad so far. Lots of work to do since I'm taking 6 classes this semester, I'll list them (since I know my mom, dad, and grandparents will want to know which they are).

• Principles of Corporate Finance
• Principles of Management
• Applied Stats & Optimization
• Buyer Behavior
• Professional Selling
• Body Conditioning 

No issues with any yet so that's a bonus!

Then after work, despite the gloomy weather we went for our first little stroll.

This is right outside the walking gate in Baumholder. Rob's just strollin' like a G.

We discovered there isn't a TON out in the little town we live near. There are some good restaurants, one which we'll be trying tomorrow for dinner since when we were out today they were closed, and lots of little shops and bars. Even a car rental place where you can rent a BMW, with insurance and all, for a week for 180 euro, and that's not bad at all! And a T-Mobile, where we set up our phones today. For a small town, it has all ya need. We still can't wait to travel!

But with the weather being less than favorable, and it being Monday (when lots of things are still closed), we didn't stay out too long.

Tuesday, yesterday, I went to work with Rob for a little bit. I went for a travel briefing. We were told how to catch trains, how to get RyanAir plane tickets, what cities the presenter recommended to visit, and several other pointers. The whole presentation only made me more excited to get out and travel! Too bad we learned Rob has to apply for a civilian passport too. And his birth certificate is in our Household Goods. So it will be a bit before he gets his passport. Which means we're only traveling in Germany for our first while. But that's not all bad, there are SOOO many places we can see here!

Then today the GI furniture delivery people brought by some more stuff. Two dressers, a dining table, and a sofa. I'll add pictures of that next post, since we're already lounging and being lazy this evening. [we have lots of supernatural we're catching up on on Netflix]. After Rob got off, we headed down to Baumholder again. First we snagged some euros and hit up a local bakery.

Definitely a good find.

 

The pretzel sticks we got were delicious, like Servati's back in Cincy. The other two pastries, well we're not sure what they are and haven't tried them yet. We just picked two to try and next week we'll try two more new ones! I mean with the bakery being so close (10 minute walk)- who could resist?

After the bakery it was AIG insurance quote time. AIG gave us a quote on car insurance, still expensive. But, being in Germany and needing the standard million dollars in coverage, its always a bit expensive. Especially with the beem still being on a loan. *can't wait till that's paid off*. With the quote we figure we'll go through with the paperwork and get the car on its way over here, since it'll take probably three months to get here. After, our stop at t-mobile didn't take long either. The woman was sweet and set us up with our SIM cards and sent us on our way. Pretty painless.

Now that dinner has been made and enjoyed [maple syrup glazed pork chops, onions with parsnips, and rice *yum*] we're finally able to curl up on the couch for a change. Enjoy your evening, I'm gonna go enjoy mine! :D
