First day of Break :)

today i went to the super market with fenni and i knew before that germans turn in their empty water bottles for money so we go into this little place and theres this sweet machine that you stick the bottles in and it like scans them with birght flashes and then sucks them into it it was soo sweet. then we got all the ingrdients for a salad. and it was the best. (well not better than yours mom) but it was goood. that was the first time i had a big salad here. then on our way out we stopped at the bakery (next door) to get bread to go with our salad and then i saw a sign under something that said "Amerikaner". which means american. so then i pointed it out to fenni and she was like oh you can try it! and so we went home ate a great salad then i ate the amerikaner and it was pretty good but not better than the berliner (another cake thing) i had last week.

also you have to go to the post office here to mail stuff and fenni was schocked that we have trucks that pick up our recycling stuff.

i also feel extremely successful because i met all the girls in the city. first off im riding and i get over this one bridge then cant for the life of me remember which way to go so then i called fenni and she clarified and so then im going for awhile then i come across the bridge im supposed to take and its kaputt (broken). and i cant read the signs because they had weird words. so i go where the other people are going which is right for like 5 minutes and that was no correct at all so i turn around and go back and take the other choice which was right again but under another bridge(there are a ton of bridges in my town)and go for like 10 minutes riding and that was reallyyy wrong. so i call lea but she didnt answer

so i ride back to the broken bridge and see the sign has an arrow saying to go back where i originally came from. so i go and then see these little girls go over a tiny bridge and follow them and went through this little alley way and then found my way through the city to the ice cafe where i met everyone!

then we went into the super market to show me all the yummy german candy and i found these raspberry/blackberry little thingers that are SOSO good. (mom and dad the things that i always get in the poconos in penny candy that are red and black and gummi in the middle)

yeah and brought the german equivalent of scor/heath bars. so GREAT.

THEN i had to order a book for my sprachcurs

(language course) and i did that successfully AND bought Winn-Dixie in german to read ! :)

another GREAT stop.

after that we were walking around a shop and i remembered i needed toothpaste so i bought that!

and finally! i had to go to the post office because of forementioned (is that a word?) reasons germans dont have mailboxes (well we don't).

so yeah we went there and lea helped me but i successfully mailed letter and handed in something for fenni. so yay!

this is the longest post ever sorry.

if you're still reading, i then made my way back to the house by myself in the rain and it was a good day.
