Day 103: First Snow, Museums and the Krankenhaus

I woke up this morning to Tubingen's first snow fall! Now it wasn't much (didn't even cover the grass), but it was still exciting to see snow in Dezember. I met Krista, Irene, Matt and Julia at the Hbf around lunch and we took the train up to Stuttgart to see a museum exhibit of the Iceage. It was a pretty interesting exhibit even though I couldn't read any of the descriptions, but Krista, who is working on her PhD in archeology filled in the blanks for us. They even had a display of the flute that was found here in Germany by a Tubingen University student that was in the Charlotte Observer this summer.

After the museum exhibit, we all walked through the Weihnachtsmarkt and had some Glühwein and some great food. Then we realized that the next train was leaving in 3 minutes so we ran to the bahnhof, but missed the train by like 30 seconds. So we had to hang out for another hour before we could get the next one. I'm glad we missed that train because Veronika ate a potato dish with, I think, sauerkraut and she had a reaction to it. Her face got all puffy and red and she had hives all over her neck and arms and she could breath. So we had to walk up to the hospital so she could get a shot and everything. It was a bit scary, but she's fine now. We ended up taking the train 3 hours later than planned lol. But everyone got home and she's back to normal.

*It's still snowing!*
