I really should be sleeping right now, however I feel it necessary to fill all of you in on my yet another absurd day in a forgein country. First of all, I think I have gotten my entire host family sick. Two of the children didn't go to school and my host mother didn't even feel well enough to sit through an akward breakfast with me.

Imagine 9 American kids running with a ton of luggage with a bunch of Germans staring at us. Hilarious. Needless to say, we didn't make our tr...
