Sorry!

It's been crazy the last couple days, I said goodbye to my Family in Flensburg and hello to my family in Dresden on Saturday! It was both a sad and happy day! Tomorrow after school I will write what has been going on the last couple if days(:

Now that I actually have my computer chord, and we have internet, I can start blogging more. We have been busy the last couple of days! Friday after school, some friends, and some host siblings went shopping down town in Flensburg. After walking around for an hour and having some dinner, Paul, his host brother Niklas, my host sister Johanna and I went to a handball game! It was so intense! Flensburg won(: The yesterday we had a long day. We took a train to go see a Viking Museum, which was a little dull. But then we went on a tour and got some of the history (in English, thank god). We got to check out some of the houses that were discovered, and how they lived life. It was pretty interesting! Then we took a fairie to go see a few more museum exhibits. Back during WW2 they had Nazi Chess, the chess pieces represented different parts of the nazi army. quite interesting. Afterwards we went to a little cafe by a castle, and had quite a few laughs! Afterwards Paul and Niklas came over for a bonfire, and we had sausage, and bread. What you do with the bread is take the dough and wrap it around a stick and bake it over the fire! It was quite delicious!

Flensburg Germany

I have been living in Flensburg for a couple of days now, getting settled in and getting to know my Family. They are very very nice, and have taken me in with no problem! I thought I was good on sleep but then I started my language course which is at the City Hall (der Rathaus) for 8 hours a day. Thank goodness I get the weekends off!! When my laptop chord arrives in the mail, I will post the Pictures I have taken. I got to meet my host grandparents the other day! One of them even brought me candy and 10 euro! I was surprised, but it felt nice because it seemed like I was just their other grandchild! Talk about feeling welcome into the family(: I hope to soon travel around Flensburg by myself, or with some of the friends from the language course, soon. It's a city that is screaming "EXPLORE ME!" I have gotten comfortable with my host siblings, Noah (15) and Johanna (18). We had a night of playing the Wii! I'm so glad that Johanna speaks almost perfect English, otherwise there would be a huge language berrier! She is my translator with my other Family members d: I'm very excited that they chose me to come live with them, They are amazing, and I'm so glad that they have accepted me! Bis Später!

I have arrived!

I am now in the Frankfurt airport. I didn't get any sleep on my 9 hour flight, but enjoyed the free movies and meals! I have to wait another 5 hours for my flight from Frankfurt to Hamburg. I'm exhausted! And I only get 30 minutes of free internet, and have no other way of contacting people. Great.  I'll see if I can understand all the German being spoken around me! Bis Bald!
