So, we have come to a realization that Cadbury, French bread, and Hefeweisen does not look good in a bikini. We booked our flight to Athens, Greece, and it leaves on April 23. Less than a week from today!! We will stay one night in a hostel in the city and take an early morning ferry to the beautiful island of Santorini. Needless to say, the pressure is on to get our bikini bodies ready. We're talking serious damage control here! Today, we went for a 5 mile, 2 hour hike with our backpacks on in the rain and wind. There's no time for messing around; sissy workouts won't stand a chance against international delights we've devoured in the last 5 weeks. It's after 2pm and all we've eaten is cream of wheat and carrot sticks. I'd say we're making progress.
Yesterday, J and I went to an adorable little town called Tubingen that was highly recommended by our host family. It was a picturesque classical German town, and we were totally romanced by its charm. We did, however, find ourselves much less prepared than we typically are for a day excursion. The weather has been beautiful, so we didn't even think to bring a jacket and ended up freezing our tails off. We also went into the town with only 17 Euro between the two of us and no debit cards because we weren't planning on running across the cheap sun dresses we've been searching for all week. But do you know what we did bring?....umbrellas and ponchos! Those came in handy for the torrential downpour that occurred right as we were leaving. There has definitely been a learning curve on this little adventure of ours... always carry an umbrella, bring more money than you think you will spend just in case, and picture yourself in a two piece before downing a plate of Schufnudln.
