You’re right, making friends can be so simple..and of course, it doesn’t help if you can speak English. When I travelled around Europe, I would meet people from all countries in the hostels, and majority of the time, the common language was English. Good for me, but not good for my French speaking skills! Enjoy your travels!

I speak a very tiny bit of German — just enough to buy groceries and ask for directions. But it’s surprising how well you can communicate with just a few phrases and gestures. Still, I hope to be a little bit more conversant by the time I go back in September. One of my favorite things when I travel is to interact with the locals, and that means picking up a bit of the local language. Thanks for traveling along with me!

I highly recommend a visit! You can see the old town in two or three days, but I recommend a longer stay if you can swing it … the easy pace of life here kinda gets into your bones. And the beer isn’t awful, either!

The lilac street is ridiculous. And you know I’m a sucker for anything cobblestoned. Glad you’re getting the most out of your vacation!

After all, if beer is an integral part of daily life, that city is for me! Happy trails!
