The Neckar River flows through the city of Tuebingen. It is very picturesque. The city is so colorful with bright and beautiful flowers, and houses.

The Marketplace.

We walked through the city this weekend. People mainly travel by a bicycle or walk, although there are cars that you need to watch for. The city has many alleys and windy streets and some really steep hills. We can see the city's castle from our balcony. The weather was nice this weekend with the exception of Sunday afternoon. It seems to cool down significantly when it is rainy...in the 60s. Down the street from our flat is a nice supermarket, a meat market on the corner, and a milk market. There are bakeries with delicious pastries and coffee shops and lots of restaurants. There are alot of Turkish restaurants as well. It is so nice to just load the girls in a stroller and walk to where we need to go. We went to Ikea on Saturday to purchase a crib for Allie and thankfully we had GPS in our rental car! The exits on the Autobahn are sometimes a little confusing...but Jamie thinks I just can't read a map! On Sunday, the stores are closed except for restaurants. We try to speak German as often as we can, but everyone seems to answer us in English! It is very frustrating! Jamie went to the clinic today to get oriented. He will be applying for our residence permit (so we can get a visa) and open a bank account. I hope to find a peditrician for the girls...as it is almost time for Allie's 4 month check-up and immunizations!
