german keyboards are frustrating

but i'm going to take advantage of them to write about all the places that i've been, while using the correct accents. mer and i arrived in Köln last week and stayed with my aunt and uncle for a few days, then headed to Amsterdam. no need to worry, many fun but WHOLESOME times were had there. now we're in München and tired all the way down to our tailbones (more on that later). but it's our last day here, for we go back to Köln tomorrow and then back to the states on wednesday!

it's been a fantastic trip so far. more stories and tons of pictures to come when i get back!
