The excitement in the house is getting thick. We leave to Germany in exactly ONE month! I've decided to research and blog a bit about our upcoming adventure. Mostly on where we go and what we do and of course my biggest concern-- how the family of four with two under 3 do it! Check back and keep up with us here!! Yipeeee!!

The closest big city to Thalfingen is Ulm..

Ulm, Germany

Ulm is very close to the Alps,(which you can see on the map) and on a clear day you can see the Alps from the city. Being only 62 miles away--we plan(big word being PLAN) on skiing while we're there. Ulm is located in the state of Bavaria, and is surrounded by forest, hills and the Danube river-Europe's second longest river.

The Munster is in the back ground. Which has the worlds highest church steeple. 768 steps.
Ulm is known for the Munster and is also the birthplace of Albert Einstein.

Get this Ulm was founded around 850, Dallas was founded around 1841.
The cities population is estimated at about 120,000.

Matthias's family lives outside of Ulm in a small village called Thalfingen..more on it tomorrow!
