Göppingen

So yesterday we left Elke's and now we are stayin in a little town near Göppingen. We are staying with Elizabet and her Mann Huntz. Göppingen is the city in which my Grandfather was born and raised. Today we were able to walk about the city. It is larger than I imagined. I have found that most of the cities here are larger than I imagined. All the cities are packed with people and shops and they are all so buzy. It is such a change from Utah, in which SLC is practically dead. hm.
Well today we hiked up a smallish mountain. It had the best view from the top. We have a 360 degree view of all the surrounding cities. My Papa said that it was a mountian he would climb every sunday after church. Pretty amaying experience. Then it started to rain, more like poor, and so we sat inside for a while. Then we explored Göppingen. I saw the schools,playplaces, and churches that my grandpa went to as a child.

i'm imaging that i'm there climbing a mountain and it's pouring rain 'til you have to take shelter or become drenched. . . not like any utah desert rain!

It wasn't like any Utah desert rain. We sat inside for probably two hours to wait out the rain. It was pooring. If we all didn't have our umbrellas we would have been soaked.
