My weekend with Megan :)

On Saturday I had to go to my great host uncles house lol and he was so crazy. My host dad explained to me that he was a really big hunter, you could tell. There were pelts and animal heads and stuffed birds and rodents everywhere. Apperently I didn't even see the "good" stuff in his Africa room because he hunts in Africa a lot I guess. I was a little creeped out. We had lunch there and then went home. It was kind of pointless, but oh well.

Around 3ish Megan's train arrived and I waited for her at the station, then we came back to the house and I showed her around. After we just hung out for a little while we went into town and we explored Ehingen a little bit because even I haven't seen all of it. We went out for pizza and ice cream, that seems to be a reoccuring thing we do everytime we hang out. We went down to the "lake" it's more like a giant man made pond, but I love it anyways. Then we went to the bus stop and waited for like 20 minutes and then realized that the busses stopped coming at like 7. It was only 9 so I figured they'd still be running, but I guess not. We tried to call my host mom, but my phone's battery was dead and Megan didn't have any money on her phone. So we went to use the pay phone and while we were doing that all these kids started talking to us and we could barely understand. It was extremely confusing. When my host mom got there to pick us up the kids knew my host mom, apparently they are friends with Vanessa, my host sister thats in SC. So that was kind of odd. When we got home we ate oreos and made Shells and Cheese, it was soo good. My host sister didn't like it at all, but man it was so good. The next day I went upstairs to ask my host mom what time she wanted Megan to go home and she suggested that I just go to Ulm with Megan on a train and then she could pick me up later when they were done working in their shop in Neu Ulm. So we hung out some more, had lunch, and went to this mall kind of place. It was a lot of fun. We even spoke a lot of German, not all the time because some things we just can't say, but the things we could say we did so that was cool and I think our host families were happy about that so maybe they'll let us hang our more.

These are some pictures from this weekend

This is the lake/pond thing lol. Usually on Mondays when I have 2 free hours I buy a pretzel and come sit down here. I like it a lot.

So yes, that was my weekend and we had a lot of fun. Next week is our Rotary trip to the Black Forest, I'm excited about missing school, but a little worried about all the hiking haha. Oh well at least I will have a friend there and hopefully make some more.

School is still boring and some of my teachers make me read out loud which is a good I guess, but really hard. I stutter and read really slow because it's so hard to pronounce. Usually the kids just laugh at me so I try to laugh with it but I still feel really stupid. Well sorry it's been so long since I updated, there's not much to update on.

Well I will talk to you all later. I miss you!

Love,
