Nerotal Park

We took a nice stroll to the Nerotal Park in our town. It was huge and SO beautiful! The park sits in between streets of remarkably huge homes with amazing architecture. 

Managed to get a picture of Bishop pooping...your welcome :)

 These purple flowers are stunning and they were everywhere in this park. I asked Logan to pose and this is what he did...lame.

 It reminds me of an old English garden.

Deer walking on water. :)

 At the end of the park path there was a Tram called Neroberg, which takes you through the mountain path in Wiesbaden. We have not rode it yet, but are super excited to go up!

Car show and Historic Markers

We took a walk yesterday and came across an old car show in the Market Place.

We also found these brass bricks spread around in front of different buildings with names on them. These are called Stolperstein or Stumbling Stones. They were designed to commemorate victims of the Holocaust. They are placed in front of victims homes (which now are office or shopping stores) with the names, which camp they were taken to, and where they died. There are roughly 50,000 laid out now. Quite the fitting name, Stumbling Stone, so you take a minute to notice them when you stumble over them.

This is a bronze map of our city...I am fairly certain we were standing about where we were pointing to. 

Spring time in Frankfurt

This is my lovely view every day when I ride the train to work. The wild flowers are so beautiful here! My school is in the background. 

BBQ in Frankfurt!

We met some of our friends in Frankfurt on top of a mountain to have a BBQ. Took the dogs on our adventure...it was their first time to ride a train. They didn't love it. Haha.

Beautiful, Sunny Saturday!

We are finally starting to get some normal sunny weather here! I am really looking forward to summer time.

Today we took another stroll the our neighborhood and got to hear a couple different street performers. We heard a Cello quintet and a Brass ensemble. It was so fun! The Brass ensemble played an arrangement of Pachelbel's Cannon in D which always reminds me of Erin's wedding. :)

 Just some local eats and shops...

We found a donut shop!!! I didn't have a chance to take a picture of the ones I bought, but they were amazing!

Church and a Movie

We found a church near us that is English speaking. It, like many of the churches in Europe, is beautiful and we have been enjoying our Sunday mornings there.

St. Augustine of Canterbury

Later, we saw our first movie in the theater near us. It is the closest movie theater we have ever lived by. It is on our street and two shops down from our apartment. Talk about convenience! The only small issue is that they usually only show each major Hollywood movie in English once a week. Today we went to see The Jungle Book. It was awesome!

Our local cinema.

Exploration of Old Town Wiesbaden

It was a beautiful, sunny day in Wiesabden today...which does not happen often during spring time in Germany. We took advantage of the weather and went out for further exploration. The buildings here are just extraordinary and we love them!

Live classical music in the courtyard!

Shops and Eats!

Kochbrunnen (translates to Boil Fountain). This is a famous Hot Spring that spills out water at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. 

The Kurhaus (convention center of Wiesbaden).
