School

Hello everybody!

well this week had been very exciting for me. On the 22 Me, Eva, and her parents went to the highest point of the black forest by a r. it was beautiful up their and you could even see France from a distance. very cool. We ate lunch their and i had ice cream. Fact about Germany: their whipped cream isn't sweet. its more like foam .After a nap ( i love naps!) Eva and I went to the train station near her house and met her Friend Natalie. The trains are so much nicer then Chicago's and a smother ride. All 3 of us went to an outdoor concert. I didn't understand any words they were saying but it was nice none the less.

On the 23 i woke up in the morning, got ready and went to school with Eva. Eva goes to a private school that had the same number of students at South but looks more like a collage. They have 4 separate buildings, your allowed to text in school and leave campus. Since it was the last "full" day of school her teacher decided we would go to town for ice cream. so we all jumped into the cars and went for ice cream. (you could never do that in Illinois!). When school was over Eva, Natalie and i went to Baden-Baden. (the really pretty town i was talking about before. i remembered its name!) we went to a cafe and drank some coffee.

The 24th i went to Eva's school again. this time to only one class to see all the people she went to Vienna with last week for a school trip. I met this guy named Freddy who was a foreign exchange student last year in America and his girl friend Stephanie who was visiting from Maine. she seemed to be in the same place as me, who arrive the same day as me. We both didn't know any German yet love it here. She leave a week before i do for college but its still nice knowing someone here is having almost the same experience as me. After that Eva and I went to the beach. All together it was a good day

Yesterday Everyone got up early and jumped into the car to get Eva's brother Stephan. Stephan goes to a boarding school more then an hour and a half away and in the black forest. When we got their i couldn't help thinking Hogwarts! (push up glasses) It use to be a place for monks until converted to a boarding school. its beautiful. it was first built in 850 until it got burnedand built again so i don't know how old the building actually is but id you want to know more its called St. Blasien in the black forest. When we came home Me, Eva and Natalie went to the beach again. After that Me and Eva went back to Baden-Baden to go shopping. Late that night we went to a party for Freddy. (the foren exchange student i was talking about) 18th birthday. Turning 18 here is a big deal, i guess kind of like turning 21 in America because when you turn 18 you get your license and are able to drink harder liquor. It was pretty nice where we all just sat around the fire.

So that's how my week has been so far. if you have any questions you can right them here or ask me on face book.
