Flensburg

On Wednesday (I think that's what day it was), Matthias and I stumbled around the house for a few hours and then had lunch with Matthias' mom and grandma. Lunch is the heavy meal of the day in Germany. We had a rouladen, semel knoodle, and cabbage. After lunch Matthias and I headed off to explore the town. Matthias showed me around Grossenwiehe and then we went into Flensburg. We wandered through some of the streets and checked out the Flensburg Fjord. We also took a quick side trip to Denmark. We simply crossed the border (which is now nothing more than two large patches of grass where the border crossing stations used to be) and bought a postcard. We actually went into Denmark twice because I didn't get a good picture of the signs. I'm not sure I got good pictures the second time around either but Matthias refused to do another U-turn so I've got what I got.

That afternoon we had some cake with Matthias' mom and grandma. I thought we'd have the chance to play Yahtzee but Matthias's grandma didn't seem interested so I listened to the three of them talk for awhile in German. Then Matthias helped his mom and sister set up their wireless internet connections and I took a nap. It was a very nice relaxing day for a change! :)
