Germany Experiences

Wow! Germany. This has been a week of new experiences! On the plane we tried to understand the announcements, and we "read" a German newspaper (actually it consisted more of looking at the pictures and trying to guess what the headlines said.) Karen Gallaher and her adorable daughter, Kirsten picked us up at the airport and took us to their home in Kindsbach. On the way we saw the commonplace sights of cute little houses on the rolling country side and a few castels. Amazing! Today Laura and I walked around Kindsbach feeling rather blatantly American. I also said my first word to a German in Germany. Yup you should pretty amazed with my skill. I whipped out the word "Hallo" Pretty cool huh! Yeah, I'm going to die this semester, but it will be fun :-)
