Day 3: Dietersheim

Words I know in German:

Halo!= Hello!
Genau= Right (like "I understand", "True", not the direction)
Super= well, super.
Ja (Pronounced yah)= yes
Nein= no
Guten Mortgen= good morning
Danke= Thank you

Dietersheim is the village I live in. Its pronounced Dieter's (like Elder Uctdorf) hiem- like "to life, to life, la chaim" or like hi-em if your lacking in your Fiddler on the Roof knowledge.
It is beautiful here.

All the houses look like gingerbread houses. They're all white stucco with red terracotta roofs, wooden flower boxes full of flowers, shutters...


There's a farm next door with chickens and cows.

There are wheat fields a block away that rustle and sing like tiny bells in the wind.

Wild poppies and yellow wildflowers line the path through the nearby wood, where you can hear the Isar rushing by, punctuated by the cawing of crows.

The kindergarten is across the street, full of art projects, bright colors, and kids chattering away in German.

I'll post more pictures of the town another time, but just picture a Storybook village, and you've pretty much got Dietershiem down. I think Dieter must have really known what peace and beauty is.
