Fischen-Kempten

Day Two
12/21/2008
Fischen

Today began with the alarm going off at 6am!! 6am!! What is Luke crazy? No the cell phone just hadn’t switched with daylight savings time so we got to go back to sleep for an hour. So when the real 7am rolled around we got up and got dressed and went and met Marita and Christian for breakfast. The breakfast wasn’t bad, it was typical German with rolls and cheese and meat and jellies. Now Marita and Christian went to church so Luke and I are just relaxing in our room. The weather is not so nice so when they get done with church we have to decide what we want to do. We might go to Austria or try to find a Christmas market near by who knows!
So I guess that the weather was bad everywhere so we decided to stay closer to Fischen by going to Kempten. In Kempten there is a Christmas fair, we thought that it would be small but it was actually rather large lasting a few streets. We had lunch there, Luke, Christian and I had gyros and Marita had pizza. The gyros were really good, usually they aren’t my favorite thing but they were close to perfect this time! After we ate we walked around the town a little but all of the stores were closed so there was not much to do. We stopped at an italian eis shop and Marita had ice cream while the rest of us had warm drinks. After that we headed back to Fischen. It had been raining the entire day even when we were in Fischen so we couldn’t really go hiking without getting soaking wet. So we decided to take a break and went to our rooms for a short (two hour) break. Which meant napping for Luke, and watching the Ipod and doing homework for me. So now Marita and Christian are here and I think that we are going to walk through town for a bit and then decide where to eat. Then probably walk a little bit afterwards and then maybe play a game.
So we went to this German restaurant here in Fischen and like usual I ordered the the wrong the thing. I ordered this noodle with a local regional cheese, a lady sitting next to us had it and it looked good kind of like macaroni and cheese but with white cheese. I was wrong the noodles weren’t typical noodles they were like between a noodle and a gnocchi, they had weird texture that I didn’t care for. So I ended up eating part of Luke’s meal which was good, Schweinehax and a dumpling. The restaurant was nice there was a person playing accordion in the background. After eating we walked for a short bit then went back to the room and played Taboo, drank wine the Marita and Christian had brought and then watched Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer.
