I went on another Abenteuer, adventure, this weekend. (Sorry, I'm listening to "Abenteuerland" right now). I met K. outside the base on Saturday morning. Her brother than came and picked us up to drive us to Augsberg. It was about 2 hours, and was fun to see the land on the way and have good company.

Don't worry, I'm ok! Well, aside from 3 broken finger nails, a bruised inner thigh, a bruised stomach and... like mother like daughter, a bruised thumb!
