Snow!

So we dont have class on Fridays. But since it is our first Friday in Quedlinburg we had a meeting with the mayor. He showed us the inside of the town hall building which is really old. The city hall room is really impressive. All the walls are covered in murls that depict scenes from town/German history. One scene shows the first German king being crowned. We then, of course, had a cup of coffee. (We ALWAYS have coffee. And I love it!)
The house I live in is a 20 minute walk outside the city (downhill into town, uphill all the way home). It is a really pleasant walk. I really enjoy starting my morning off this way. So today the walk was nice and not too cold. But around 2 o'clock it started to snow a little bit. And then a little larger flakes began to fall. And now it is snowing huge flakes! So today we are experienceing our first Quedlinburg snowfall! It is really beautiful but the walk home was really cold and wet. But I guess now I have the right to tell my grandkids one day that I really did walk home in the snow, uphill! haha
I hope this letter find you well!
God bless,
Michelle
