Out Here in Paderborn

I’m writing this now in my first morning in Paderborn, but it is my sixth day in Germany. I came a bit early and spent some time with a family friend in Cologne, where I did a lot of sight seeing and exploring. Navigating the country through subways, street trains, and cross-country high speed rails has been confusing, but I haven’t gotten lost yet! My high school German education has helped me out a lot, though most people I’ve spoken with knew plenty of English.

Paderborn is a lot smaller than Cologne, but in my less than 24 hours here, I have already come to appreciate it. There’s a beautiful park in the center(?) of town with water running through and around it and with lots of ducks. I’m already sold!
