Tubingen, Germany

Every time we have planned a little trip to Germany we have never been disappointed. Something about the culture there, and the prices :) seem more comfortable to us than switzerland. But I am sure part of that needs to be attributed to the fact that we just go there on vacation and have never tried living there. Whatever the reason we really like Germany.

Two weeks ago we had a three day weekend thanks to Pentecost Monday so we drove towards tubingen Germany. We were going to camp but the campground was full by the time we called. I think that was a blessing because we found a nice holiday apartment 35 min from tubingen and it even had a swimming pool. Plus the temps were 90+ that weekend and camping with Hannah would have been no fun! No one likes to sleep when they are sweating constantly!

                                                

We spent the mornings going on a hike and then we would swim while Hannah napped and then drove twice up to tubingen for the afternoon. Sadly because of the holiday most of the shops besides restaurants were closed. We decided we need to go back because there were a lot of very fun little shops. 

                             

Tubingen is a university town, with a very good theological school- Jurgen moltmann works there so John was excited to find the theological buildings on campus! Sadly he didn't bump into Jurgen. We miss iowa city and it's restaurants and culture so it was nice to spend some time in another college town and see and feel some of the same culture. We definitely would recommend tubingen to people wanting to visit a town in Germany.
