In the mornings, the sun takes a while to come out. Sometimes it rains until about 10 a.m., then after 12 p.m. the sun is usually right back outside.
The most novel animal I saw this week were rabbits in the backyard of my host family.
The coolest thing I saw in nature was just being surrounded by oak trees in a forest in Leipzig (a well-known German city).
Autumn is officially starting. Walking the streets in various neighborhoods around the country, I see the leaves turning shades of brown and orange I've never experienced before. The trees display shades of green so far apart; it is a true sight to behold.
