Kottenheim and Schwimmbad!

So today at 1:30 we got on the regional train to go to the next city over, Kottenheim. It was there that we went to visit the old folks home and learn a bit about German Health Care. It was hard to understand it all, they spoke fairly quickly and used a lot of new words, but what I did understand was intersting. We then got a quick tour of the old folks home, and then we sat around, had juice and cake, and talked with each other.

We got home around 4:20, and got ready to go to the pool. the weather was sweltering today. Extremely hot so it was a good day for the pool!!! We went there after stopping to get ice cream. At the swimming pool, we played volley ball (I played 3 games, and my team won each time), we also did a little swimming and tredding water, Matthew and I also layed out in the sun (don't worry we used tons of sunblock)( Margaret, everytime that Matthew takes out his Mary Kay sunblock Matthew always has to clarify that it is his mother's sun block. The funny thing is that the girls are all like, oooh, it shimmers, can I use some, hahaha)

We also went down their amazing water slide twice! It was so much fun, we stayed until closing time at 7:30. then Matthew and I went and we got a huge plate of Spaghetti Bolognesa with a basket of bread and a drink all for 4 euro each. Nice huh? We think its a stellar deal. Plus, it is very tasty.

I walked Matthew and Eric off at home, because of the fact that it was still quite light out, I walked myself home.

I had to interview my host mother for my homework that is due Thursday. 250 words over her life, etc. It was interesting, I hope I have enough information to cover 250 words.

Today is finished, I will be going to bed soon, its like 10:30 pm here now.

Tomorrow is a very big day for our group, we are doing our day trips to Bonn and Cologne. We will not return home until 10:30pm tomorrow.

We have a very busy scheduale, but tomorrow evening we got to go to a Organ concert with works of Bach, etc. performed. Matthew and I are totally geeking out and getting excited over it!

I will not be able to write about our adventures tomorrow as I had hoped. I will have to upload pictures of this weekend on wed. perhaps, and hopefully I will also get to write about our day trip then!

We hope you are all doing well. I will hopefully see some of my friends this week and next week, so I am excited, plus we are going to visit Michael for the weekend in Bavaria! YAY!

Take Care, Biss Dann!
