…(on Saturday) Mike's parents arrived in Fribourg! We met them at the train station here around noon, then walked them to the hotel they will be staying called the Hine Adon. Another man staying there gave us a little history on the place: Supposedly "hine adon" means 12 rooms, therefore only 12 rooms are at the hotel, each with a name. They are actual names also. For example the Nelsons' room is called, "Josef".
After getting somewhat settled in, we showed them to our cozy apartment. Unfortunately, it was raining when they arrived and continued to rain into the evening so not much sight seeing was possibly. We just visited the grocery store, then had a relaxing evening at the Josef Room.
Sunday was Mike's first home game! We all got to go and watch. They ending up winning by quite a bit, and it was so fun to watch. After the game we went to eat at the Asian restaurant below our apartment. It was nice to finally put a taste to the smell. We each ordered a different chicken dish and was very pleased with the meal.
The evening ending with football, first the Packers ( I was outnumbered by the fans) and then the Vikings!! It's so nice to still get to watch some sports that remind me of home while overseas.
Just curious how you guys are able to watch the NFL over there?
ReplyDeleteThere is a website that streams many channels live…they have all of the NFL games, so we watch them live, if we can (because the 7hr difference puts a big damper on many of the games/tv shows)
