Let me tell you about Fashing!

Ok I forgot one big event I wanted to tell everyone about.  Fashing!! This is pretty much like Mardi Gras for the Germanys.  It's a week of parties and events and just overall debauchery.  So  the first event we participated in was dinner at this local beer hall in Parkinkirchen, or at least what we thought would be a low key dinner.  If you looks at my facebook picture you will see the amount of beers that were drank during this dinner.  So during dinner all these people with mask kept walking in.. Some of them we like Mexican themed some were doctors, some were just little old women.. The mask were great tho.. They get passed down from generation to generation so they are super old and a little scary.  Anyways these masked people literally pour drinks down your throat.  Some are good.. And some tasted like straight gasoline. Overall I give this night a 10! These masked people hung out with us all night.. BUT WE NEVER SAW THERE FACES.... They drink their beers and drinks in the way that you never get to see their faces... It was crazy loco!

The next night was the costume party.  I first wanted to go as a black Bella from the Twilight series, but I could not get my friend Shane to go as Edward so that was scratched. (Sorry boob and Rachel) ... I went in Toga instead.... Let me just tell you this ladies... you should not wear a toga to a party with 500 people!! It will get ripped off you.. That is enough said about that night...:) It was just too much fun. 

The last night of Fashing was hut to hut.  So technically you are suppose start at the top of the alpiztbahn ( the top of the mountain) and sled down.  This to me sounded like a good way to break my arm so I decided to snowboard instead.  So basically there are like 4 huts on your way down the mountain and you stop and dance and drink a lot at each one... I myself decided to fill my camel pack with a 5th of Jim Beam.. Lets just say I don't really remember the last hut or getting down the mountain. Oh yeah and did I mention that this is all occurring at like 11:00 at night. Yeah it was a fun adventure.  Head lamps were a must..

The next day you are suppose to repent and go to church for ash Wednesday.I would say half the people I live with were all in church that day...  It was a great week in Garmisch!!!

Love you mean it!

Salzberg and More

Gutan tag everybody!!!.. Sorry for being absent the past few weeks but shit has been Papayas.... Between trying to get adjusted to this crazy lifestyle which is a mixture of a college dorm and a half way house I have just forgotten to keep all my main squeezes posted on my adventures.. I will start with one of my favorite cities thus far.  Salzberg... I recommending going  right now! The city of beautiful, filled with bridges, castles and Cathedrals!!! I went with two of my good friends here Mandy and Noah.. Mandy reminds me a lot of Boob!!! She is Catholic and every step she takes out of the church is pretty much a step to hell, but she is hilarious with one of the driest sense of humor I have ever encounters.  Of course she is also a little crazy because I would say that all of my friends have a streak of crazy in them.  Noah is a super chill guy from somewhere outside of DC.  He was in the Navy for 4 years before he got here but he is the only kid here that has served.  The things about this place is that everyone has such a different and amazing story as to what brought them here.  It is pretty strange but even after being here for a month I still feel like there are people here I have not met.  

Ok back to Salzberg.  Thank god me and Mandy had a boy with us because there is a huge fortress there that has been taken over by pretty much everyone but most famously by that little midget of a man Napoleon! But having Noah there was like bring a 12 year old kid.  He was running for archer windows to cannons to torture rooms like it was going out of style... It was super fun to get into it. Also the history behind the whole place is daunting. 

I have figured out that as boring as scenery pictures are to others when you show them off.  They are just a must have on my adventures here.  The landscape and architecture is surreal and it helps me put life, time and the important things into prospective  Miss you all much... Love...

My next adventure is Amsterdam at the end of March..
