German is primarily spoken here, though some people also speak Alsatian, which seems to be a blend of both German and French.
The Germans use the euro, and most transactions are in cash, so it is best not to show up to a restaurant with just a credit card.
At the grocery store, a bottle of water costs around 1 euro 20 cents, or about one dollar and thirty two cents.
I sampled a Black Forest Cherry cake this week. It was absolutely delicious. I sometimes get to sample the local grapes when I walk through the vineyards, as well. I am also interested in trying the local onion cake as well.
My roommates and I had a relaxing time on Friday. We sat on the balcony and listened to music from the Beatles while we chatted and enjoyed the cool night air.
I enjoyed hiking up to the Burg Trifels with my close friend Miranda. The views were spectacular and the weather was perfect.
