Things have begun to settle into a rhythm as our full practice schedule has resumed. Watson and I had a good practice today and I hope it continues to get better. We have much to work on in the next few days in order to fully prepare for the competition. We are all enjoying the atmosphere at Schafhof. Everyone is so nice, and there is much to see and do. I finished my work early today, so we all decided to take a short field trip to the Schloss Johannesberg Wiesbaden. The castle, which has now been converted into a vineyard, was on the top of a mountain overlooking the Rhine. The view was so beautiful. I am glad we got to go out and see some of the historic sights. Tomorrow Watson and I will practice again, and then I think I will head into Frankfurt in the evening to check out the city. I hear that the city is busy and lively on Friday nights, so I am looking forward to a fun night!
