Airplane/Day1/Day2

The plane ride was good I didn't sleep at all I know it was bad I should have slept but I just couldn't. A couple of others couldn't sleep and we just chatted in the back of the plane where the flight attendents kept their stuff to serive to the people on the plane. We talked to a lot of people about what we were doing in Germany and they thought it was really cool. Sadly I didn't have a window set so I couldn't see my flight into Germany, but I was okay with that I had someone take photos for me.



When we got there we walked down a street and waited for our host family to arrive it was cool because I was in Germany. It didn't sink in that I was in Germany at all. My family was the second to arrive it was cool. We chatted a little had lunch, got unpacked, took a nap, then a shower. After that we had supper. That was around 7pm their time. We had to go to this pub(bar) I didn't mind my first night thought it would be cool. I hung out with my host sister and 2 of her friends. They were all nice to me we played pool for a long time their rules are different than ours. It was very good, we didn't get home until 3am and I had to get up at 7am since I was going on a field trip the following day. It was a great first night I enjpoed my time.



The second day I got up and went to the AIB we're we went off to go explore around Bonn. We went to this village next to the Belgien. So I visited another country on my second day there. The group saw the mustard factory, (mom, dad I'll have a package coming sometime with some good tasting mustard, and jelly, possibly some sweets). After that we went bobb sliding that was fun. Getting back I slept most of the way I was tired the past 2 days I had a total of 6 hours of sleep. I got a mobile phone it's a pre-paid so we can keep in touch with one another in Germany as well as with our host family. We can use it to call home (states), but I don't remember the number to call out I'll find out monday.



The true adventure didn't start until after while we waited for others to come back to go to the Rhane Kultulr Fest (sp) it was a place outdoors with a bunch of bands playing. We got there by walking took about 46mintues. Some how our group of 12 people got split up and had to find one another....good thing we had the mobile phones. We stay there until around 11pm and decided that some people needed to get back. Me and David didn't have to get onto our train until 12:39am but thought best to go. We literally sprinted all the way back to the train station. The bus wouldn't stop for us, and we almost missed the train. We got to the Main station and Lily had enough time to get to her bus. We had to run to catch my train. I tried to get on, but it was to crowded and I had to call Ralf (host father) that I missed it. His friend Mario picked me up. Took a while to find him. I realized that I was on the oppoiste side of the train station. I had to ask the police to help me out good thing they speak english.



Anywho I never was shown the train station because there was nien time to do it. But tomorrow I'll be showed. Since I'm getting back on the train to meet up with the group to go to the Gay Prarade in Koln. Hopefully I wont get to lost, but if I do I have my cell phone to call. There ends my lovely adventure of the 2 days I've been in Germany. Miss ya'll.....^_^



Cheers,
