Day trips

Hello all!


I know I have been slacking on writing in here but it is because I am busy exploring Germany! I have been to Köln and Bonn since I last wrote. 


We went to Köln on friday with school to do a scavenger hunt. It was pretty good except it was raining a bit. After the scavenger hunt we met at a brewery and had a tour guide from Köln tell us more about the city. Köln is also known as Cologne by people outside Germany. Here on out when I refer to Köln it will be using Cologne because it is easier without the umlauts. It was great the school paid for 2 rounds of beer! 


Saturday we decided to go to a market in Bonn. It was more of a street fair with some rides. It was really big! We walked around and when we were leaving we bought crepes. They were delicious! We spent a little more than an hour at the market so we decided to stop in downtown Bonn on our way back. The cities here are wonderful. They have gorgeous architecture. We walked around for about an hour before stopping at H & M to shop. The nice thing about many cities here is that the main shopping district does not have streets for cars. Instead they are streets for pedestrians. It is fantastic to just walk around and not worry about traffic. After we left H&M we took the train back to Bad Honnef. It is a quick ride of about 45 minutes. We were hungry so we headed to the Mexican restaurant in town. They have good nachos! 


Sunday it rained from noon to 6 p.m. Thankfully it stopped raining at 6 because I had the opportunity to watch the Bills game at a friends house. It was a 12 minute walk so I didn't want to have to walk in the rain. It was great! One of the guys has the NFL Game Pass so we were able to hook the computer up to the TV and watch the game. It was like a little piece of home for me. I am going to try and make chicken wings here. I am going to buy frozen wings and then use Franks Sauce to cook them in! I hope they turn out well! 
Yesterday we went grocery shopping then back to Cologne to do some shopping. I was able to find some cute stuff at good prices. 


My classes started today and I am so excited. I love the start of classes. The first class I had was Destination Management. We were assigned a project for the semester. I am in a group with two other girls and we are going to start our project on Thursday. My second class was Sales and Distibution. That was a fun class and we were given our assignments for the semester and I may try to do them this weekend so I don't have to worry about them later on. 
I am taking 8 classes this semester so I want to make sure I have time to do all the work and do it well. It will be easier because I am not working full time. It is so weird to have so much free time. 


That is all for now! I didn't sleep very well last night so I am going to try and take a nap before this evening. I have a meeting for the LEO club. I think the description fits me pretty well. 


Here is the description of LEO club "You do not want to wait for the world to change, but change the world yourself? You are a team player, enjoy getting involved in social activities and want to put your ideas into action? You are between 16 and 30 years old and interested in becoming a committed member of a lively organization? Then YOU are at the right place with us!"  


Hope to hear from people soon! I get a little lonely over here so please write to me! :) 


Thank you all for your love and support.
