Day-Trip to Bonn
Kelcy is thinking about studying abroad in Bonn, so Nate and I went there for the day today to check the place out. Even with the terrible weather, we still had a good time, and we give Kelcy a big 'thumbs-up' to go. Bonn is an easy two hours drive from Kaiserslautern. It has all the amenities of a large city - trolley, metro, large university, etc., but it isn't overwhelming like Frankfurt. Nate and I were very interested to learn that Bonn was the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) for 50 years. Bonn lies on the Rhine River, and was home to Ludwig van Beethoven. In our quest to find edible Mexican food in Germany, we stopped in to Tacos Bonn for lunch. The food was terrible. *Note Kelcy*- you can skip this place. The place really filled up after we left, so the Germans must love it. There were dozens of wonderful looking restaurants, and it looks like there will be many biergartens once it gets warmer. We then walked around and got the feeling...
