Traveling

Recently, as in since the 24th, I have been in Germany! I have been staying in Karlsruhe and I have been amazed at how smoothly everything runs. "You mean it is unusual to have the street full of holes?!" and other silly things have been my frequent comments to Ute (the wife of the son of my grandfather's business partner, Hans). So far I think we have done something that would take at least two hours to get to from Todi every day.  We saw a zoo, we've been to castles, we've been to what is called a rope garden, we've done all sorts of things! Every day the family I am staying with is up by seven thirty and by the end of the day (roughly 6 or 7 or 8) I am so exhausted that I can barely get ready for bed before collapsing!
One of the things I noticed most is how everything is doubly secure. In the rope garden you couldn't (It was physically impossible unless you had a faulty harness) get off of the safety lines. To get off one part you had to be hooked on to the other!
I will post some pictures later.
Ciao,
Florence
