Autumn has fallen on Germany. It is beautiful. Truly. The trees and sidewalks have all been painted with new colors. Autumn is quickly becoming my new favorite season. Texas must skip this season in favor of the 100 degree weather which is not a fair trade in my opinion. Or maybe it's because Texas' favorite color is brown and not yellow or orange. It's only a few weeks it looks this lovely before the trees go bald and the snow comes. So for now I am very much enjoying my Autumn walks in the park.
I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween as well! Halloween, the whole trick or treating thing is not really that big of a deal here. They don't even sell candy corn (I was shocked and I don't even really like candy corn). I saw a few costumes but nothing like in the States where we will wear our costumes to school that day and go trick or treating through senior year of high school to at least a few houses just for some free candy. I was sad to not see any cute little kids in their creative costumes. There are no spooky Jack-o-Lanterns or haunted house decorations or smell-my-feet rhymes. However, Tuesday was a working holiday so all of the business and shops were closed for All Saints Day. Odd, hm? And, this week is the fall break from school so school are off all week. Trick or Treating in the States would take on a whole new meaning if everyone had holiday from work and school the day after.
