So it's Saturday night, I'm in Europe and yes I'm sitting in my bed. Why? Last night was once again amazing! Whoever thought that Halloween should be for kids? It's much more fun to be an adult and go trick-or-treating for shots. Last night I was sitting at dinner and Angelika was telling me that Faschings was here in Ahldorf tonight.Of course I already knew about and was planning on meeting Elisabeth to go. However, I was not expecting to wear a costume or a...

Weekend #2 in Germany was a complete success. After much debating we all ended up deciding to take a road trip to München (Munich).

I had orginally though it would be me, Elisabeth and two other students here from Mexico.... well when we show up the student from China decide...

I have so much to update all of you about! So I'll be making more than one post tonight. Post #1 Saturday morning I woke up early to make it to the Banhof (train station) to depart on our 2 1/2 hour adventure to a town called Baden-Baden. I had no idea it was going to take that long and three different trains to get there or I would have brought my I-pod for entertainment. Finally we arrive in Baden-Baden and we had a tour guide that was only 18 years old and...
