Darmstadt

DARMSTADT
(pronounced “darmshtat”)

Today I went out on the town with the people from my German orientation class. We mostly went to learn the public transit system of the city and how to take trains from Darmstadt to other cities and back without ending up in the wrong place…been there, done that! I once ended up in Toulouse, France when I was trying to go to Barcelona, Spain a few years ago. Eh…what’s a few hours more on the train, right? It’s all part of the adventure.

I had my first German meal today…it was great! Although, anything’s better than the Taco Bell and Burger King I’ve been eating here on base. Haha…I guess I don’t set the bar very high. Anyway, I had roast beef with potatoes and vegetables.

We also stopped by the old city castle which is situated on the city square, called the Luisenplatz.

You can also see one of the downtown streets where some of the shopping area is located.

I’m hoping to go to Frankfurt this weekend, so there will be more pictures on the way if that works out!

Love you all
