For the past week Mattie and I have been romping around and drinking beer in Munich, Germany staying with Patrick, who stayed with Mattie when he was in Santa Barbara.  Normally I would feel bad eating and sleeping at someones house for free, but Patricks mom had us vacuuming, and doing dishes everyday, so I don’t feel so bad. 

This weekend we stayed in Patricks dads cabin in the Alps. It was the first house I have been in that did not have electricity. So far, it has been my favorite place on the trip.  We hiked to the top of the mountain and watched the mountains roll all the way to Italy as the sun set. 

The Germans drink beer as if it is water. They are my kind of people.
