This past week in Germany has been filled with many different events. On Wednesday I unfortunately had to wake up an hour earlier than I usually do, in order to catch a train to Tuebingen. I would have to say though that waking up an hour earlier was definitely worth not having class for the day. In Tuebingen all of us Americans had to meet with some people to take care of paperwork for our stipend and citizenship. For how organized I thought the Germans are, the...

Friday night we went outto dinner in Horb, which was the first sit-down dinner I've been to since I have been here. However, now I understand why people in Horb DON'T go out to dinner. We went to the only Mexican Reastraunt in the city and it was not that great. First of all, you know it's not going to be good when I asked for no onions and she comes back to tell me that it's all pre-mixed. Yum. After dinner we headed over to Belli Arti for yet another night of...

It's a high possibility that my liver might come knocking on your door trying to escape me. If that happens will you send it back to me? Sorry it's taken me so long to update, I've been busy having too much fun! Last Wednesday we caught the train after our half day and ventured to Tuebingen. We got to see where we will be living, which is located right in the middle of the city. Compared to Horb/Ahldorf it was like getting smacked in the face with New York Cit...

Woke up this morning and thought I was justgoing to have a relaxing Sunday with my host family. Then Cassie called me and asked if I wanted to go to a Faschings Umzug (Parade) in Dettigen (another small village outside of Horb). I agreed since I haven't been to a parade here yet. Well let me tell you… their idea of a parade is NOTHING compared to what we get in America. If what happened today in Dettigen, happened in America I can guarantee there would be peop...

Just incase you were wondering, this week was pretty uneventful. Just school as usual. The most exciting part of the week was one dinner when my host mom asked me if I wanted a piece of stomach? No thanks. After a long mental debate though I finally decided to go on the trip this weekend to Triberg (pronounced "Treeberg"). It's a small village located smack dab in the middle of the Schwarzwald (Black Forest), and is home to Germany's highest waterfalls...
