You may have noticed a pattern by now. It seems everywhere I visit has a CBYX participant that lives there. Guilty! It just makes sense that you visit somewhere where someone you know lives. You get to hang out with someone you know and you have a place to stay. This weekend, Hannover was the winner. It was one of those trips where you didn't really have a plan or itinerary. We just bummed around and looked at the sights. It was very fun. It was me and 3 other participants. We stayed with this girl in the program. She lives in this basement apartment thing. It is cool that she has her own space (I'm a bit jealous). In addition to seeing some of Hannover we decided to make it a horror movie classics weekend. We watched both Misery and Fargo. It was great. Those movies are both pretty crazy but total classics. We also got stuck puppy sitting for this doberman puppy. Oh darn it! It was very cute but had to be watched like a hawk as it would just stop moving at times and start peeing on the floor. Ahhhhh! All in all a great weekend. Also, at night, Hannover turns kind of wild with drunk people everywhere.
They had an Al Bundy shoe store. How cool is that? |
So much Fachwerk! |
Me and Big Boy! |
There were a bunch of these statues on the river called "Nanas". I believe they were created by Niki de Saint Phalle. They were basically very large statues of voluptuous women. |
A very large glass building. You could walk through these tunnels like a canister at a bank. |
Light up benches! |
Bear, doing a head stand, in a tuxedo. |
Me with my "Dein Bier". That means "Your Beer". |
Me with my first ever Christmas-themed Kinder Überraschung Ei! |
More bubble tea. |
