Memmingen

Memmingen is a very small town. Very, very small. I am surprised that they built an airport here.

I am staying with a local musician and actor named Martin.  His girlfriend, Stephie, is here as well but she normally lives in Munich.  Martin lives in the oldest house in town.  It is about 500 years old.



The first day I was here, after I dropped Whitney off with David, Martin and I went swimming with his friend from the theater where he works.  I ended up falling asleep under a tree.  The days of not sleeping while traveling with Whitney finally caught up with me.



The next day there was a city party.  It is a sort of founders day celebration.  There was beer, good food and brass bands.  After that we went to an old abandoned airfield where we rode longboard skateboards.  I dont have any pictures of that ... which is good because it was pretty embarrassing

That afternoon we went to a premier of a play at the theater Martin works at.  The girl we went swimming with before was the lead.  It was all in German so I didnt understand much of the dialog but the story was simple enough that I could follow it.

Today, the girl from swimming and the play is driving with me to Munich where I am meeting my next couchsurfing host.
