First off I want to apologize for not keeping up w/ my blog efficiently. The internet here is less than to be desired for. Ok well I’ve learned that trying to cram a semester full of class into 23 days is not exactly fun. Especially sitting in pews for 3 hrs at a time. But I guess going on day trips to Holland and germany make up for it lol.
Monday- we had short classes in the morning then went for walks in the afternoon and just tried to rest up a lil bit.
Tuesday- we had class til 2 then headed to Maastricht for the evening. In Holland there was a fair so the girls rode a ride then we walked around for a while and relaxed then ate at subway. On the way home the train was stalled b/c of a car wreck on the tracks so we got back around 9 then relaxed.
Wednesday- we had class til 4:20 then got changed really quick and went on the 40 min walk to the park which should’ve taken a maximum of 20 mins lol. Once there we played a game of ultimate Frisbee…it was awesome to be able to play anything! But the playing field is the worst nightmare for someone w/ bad ankles…o wait that’s me lol…but we had a blast! Then we just did h/w the rest of the night.
Thursday- we had paul in the morning then French in the afternoon but both were cut short b/c Dr. T had to go to the hospital for his leg. He’s better now his knee is still inflamed though. After class we just relaxed and walked around town some. Then had supper and did some more h/w.
Friday- ewww Friday the 13th. Lol today we got up pretty early, ate breakfast, packed our lunches and headed out for our cruise on the Rhine River. It took about 1.5 hrs to get there then when we got there we had 2 hrs b4 our boat took off so kat and I walked around got some good hot chocolate, at our lunches and just walked around the town for a while til around 2. our boat then took off at 2:30. the shores were filled with castles it was pretty cool…both literally and figuratively lol. It was very cold on the river as u can see in the pictures. Then we got off the boat 2.5 hrs later and walked around boppard til our train came. I had an authentic brautwurst, it was ok not great. Then we got back and chilled til round 3 am…sleep isn’t much of a priority as usual.
Saturday- we slept in til 8:30 had French for an hr then hit the market place right outside the house. That was pretty cool, it had everything u ever wanted. Then we ate lunch then headed to aachen for the evening. Mama T gave us a tour of aachen, I guess its famous for Charlamagne (SP) but it was nice and relaxing. The leaves were changing so it reminded me of home. It was nice. We ate there…it wasn’t too good nikki and I got some mix plate w/ fried calamari and anchovies, potatos, olives, chicken wings, and some sauces…not very good at all lol. Then we got back around 7 and studied for French.
