This week was really exciting I did new something everyday! Here is the layout of my whole week! :)
Monday; My host mom's literature group came over for the evening, and she prepared an "American cocktail hour" thing.. I was really excited because she used the Cinnamon Apple Pecan cake that my mom sent me from Texas :) It was so good; I didn't want to share!
Tuesday; I went shopping in Hannover with 3 of my best German friends! It was really great; We shopped for 3 hours in the same store! Then we ate dinner and went on our way back home.. It is olny about an hour train ride, so it was nice :) I had so much fun, and i'm so thankful to have German friends!
Wednesday; My first piano lesson.. :o It was a little rough for me, but I am really happy that I am going to be able to still play it here :) I like my teacher, and I think that I am really going to enjoy it!
Thursday; I was sick! All throughout the week I had been coughing with a sore throat, but Wednesday nights/Thursday was just the climax of it all! I woke up not being able to talk.. Luckily that went away after about 3 hours of extra sleep :) In the afternoon, Carla and I went into the "city", we just hung out there for a little, happy to be in the fresh fall air :) It was a really nice day. I love fall <3
Friday; My host mom and I went to like an "open gym" ladies night fitness thing... ha! It was really cool; they had free trials for Zumba, water fitness, and things of that sort. Sadly, I couldt participate in any of it because of an awful stomach ache :( My host mom had to take me home early and I went to bed at around 9!
Saturday!!; HAMBURG! This day was SO so good! I went to Hamburg, (the second largest city in Germany) with all the Rotary exchange students! I had to wake up at 6:20 (good think I went to bed so early ;) and we didnt get back until around 10:30 pm! But I had so much fun :) We went sightseeing all over Hamburg (walking, of course :o)! Before I went I said that I have to eat a Hamburger while im in Hamburg..... and I did! It was the first burger I have had since I have been in Germany and boy was it delicious :D Also, we went on an hour long boat tour through the river ( I guess you can call it that) that is around Hamburg.. That was really spectacular to see the harbor and the city from the water.. The city is really gorgeous!!
Sightseeing with Gabrielle (Brazil) and Luis (Mexico) :)
The Hamburg town hall.. kinda beats little ole' Andrews town hall!
I <3 HAMBURG!
A boat in the bay, super pretty!
As a little closer, I am quickly finding out that the weather here is super Bi-polar! You may notice the sky in my first picture, and my last... Super sunny to cloudy and drizzling! It is like that all the time! They say that starting this week, fall will come to a close, and winter will take her place... with rain almost literally everyday, and darkness comes at around 4 pm... :o WHAT?! Fall was like 2 weeks long! :( As of now, I will always have an umbrella with me and I have already broken out the UGGS! Here comes winter Y'all! :)
