germany cont. oh and tube story.

Nicole was kissed by some random girl she had been sitting next to, as the girl left. She ran over to Nicole, hugged her, sort of kissed her forehead, and got off the tube.

OKay. FRIDAY NIGHT:

Franzi and I went out for Cocktails after I had taken a 2 hour nap.

SATURDAY:

I slept in late. They have these wonderful light eliminating shadeds on the outside of thier house. wonderful. Got up, had yummy breakfast which consisted of bread and spreads. yum. Nutella and such. After I had gotten dressed, Franzi and I headed over to the train station. We got on the train and went over to Hannover. It was game day, so there were football fans everywhere in thier scrves and jerseys. Oh and policemen everywhere as well. The first thing we did was walk over to the Rathouse (Town hall) where there was a guy sweeping a bunch of buttons off the steps. I was like, "huh?" and this lady came up behind us and started talking to Franzi. After the ladyleft, franzi explined that the lady's brother was turning thirty. There is this custom that if you are thirty and not married, as a joke, you have to go around cleaning up your city and getting as many people to kiss you as possible. the lady was asking if we would kiss her brother."Nicht Heute".

Then we went to the museum. Which had some aquarium in it. cool. and then an art gallery as well. It was almost overwhelming. After that we went back to the train and back to the hauptvanhaute or something gardens. Since it wasn't summer, it wasn't as pretty as it could have been. but it was huge.





Tube ride back. Train i guess. Got to her house...then i used the sauna!!! they have a sauna in their house. Used that, got online, then we went over to her friends house to make wraps. soft tacos essentially. It was really funny, as we were preparing it, Everyone had a job, i kind of just sat at the table with the alcohol. So everyone gets busy with thier stuff, and franzi opens her can of corn, pours it into a bowl and stands there and goes "Ich bin fiertig". It made me laugh a lot. The wraps were yummy. and they had this sparkly wine, which wasn't champagne, but good. then we were watchcing the german singstar show, similar to, actually, its just the german version of american idol. so we were watching that, and Julianna's parents came in from the kitchen and say "is that a kitchen or a bar in there?" in german. made them all laugh, so franzi had to translate. But then we went upstairs into Juliannas room and brought chips and dip and alcohol. Fun times. A very chill, relaxed night. had amaretto and Milk for val. We watched the 40 retro music videos or something. it was funny. around 11 we left.



Oh. saturday i also went to a super market. Family, be ready for german candy.

SUNDAY:

got up, ick, had to pack, ick, wrote the meiers a note. went down for breakfast. Had to say goodbye to franzi's parents and sister, tina. I didn't want to. they are such wonderful people. Then franzi and I played sing star. haha. got ready, went to the airport. ate lunch there and said goodbye to franzi. boo.



Seriously, such generous, wonderful people. the only thing they let me pay for was my chocolate and postcards.
