I've been in Germany for two weeks now and it has been a whirlwind. I caught a cold the day I got here which stinks, but for the most part, it hasn't stopped me from having some fun. The day I got here, Mom took me to down town Munich to see the Christmas market there. It was cold but fun. I had roasted chestnuts for the first time and they were actually pretty good.
The next day, Mom and I went to the Nymphenburg castle in Munich. It surprised me that it looked more like an old fort rather than a castle. It was fun to go inside of it and see how the king lived.
On Sunday, Mom, Dad and I drove to Vienna, stopping just outside of Salzburg to go to church. The next day, we saw the sights in Vienna including the Rathaus which I guess is some government building and another castle (I can't remember the name.) We also saw a bunch of cool Catholic churches and walked around the streets of downtown Vienna.
We were also able to see a really cool Christmas market in Nurnburg. I had heard that Nurnburg has the best Christmas markets and the one that we went to did not disappoint.
Something that I don't enjoy about being here is all the bratwursts. They are everywhere and sometimes, that's all there is. I tried one the other day and to no surprise to me, I still don't like them. In fact, they still make me want to hurl. So I have stayed far away from them.
The last few days, I haven't seen anything cool because Mom has grounded me and until I get over my cold so the only thing I've seen is the house. Hopefully soon I'll be able to go outside...

This is the Rathaus in Vienna. I thought it was pretty all lit up.
I am on the balcony of the Schönbrunn palace in Vienna.
Outside the Schörnbrunn palace. It was a little rainy.
