I've been laying low this week. I had an away swim meet in the Netherlands last Saturday. I carpooled with another coach and drove there and back in one day (3 hours each way), so I was wiped after that.
I've kept busy around the house since, set (and met!) a goal to get to the gym at least twice this week, coached two days, and cooked most nights. I got out of the house today and did some shopping downtown with a friend though. The Christmas markets, which people have been raving about since we moved here, start in a week or so in the main square downtown. They were setting up these huge flowers that are strung with lights (see pic above) when we walked by.
We stopped in Starbucks for a much craved Pumpkin Spice Latte, only to find that the Fall flavors were gone and that the Christmas ones are in. They aren't as crazy about Pumpkin Spice here as we are in the States. They didn't put it out until October 1 and promptly replaced it with Christmas on November 1. The Christmas flavors were awesome too though, so I wasn't too bummed. The middle drink is "Lebkuchen Latte" which means Gingerbread Latte.

Jason has a 4 day weekend this weekend, and I'm really excited for him to be home for 4 days straight. We aren't planning any trips, but I'm hoping we can get up to Frankfurt one day since its so close and we haven't been yet! We have some picture hanging to do as well before company comes in December.
