masch gut!!

germany is treating me very well. we arrived in bremen on friday night and i have stayed with a german friend who lives in hannover, and with  one who lives in göttingen. it has been enlightening. last night i was able to have a traditional bavarian delicacy that included fried potatoes, meat loaf, and a fried egg on top. it was very interesting, but it was very tasty. i enjoyed the meal. it has been so nice to just walk around germany looking at people, and just taking it all in. it is so funny, because as i walk around germany my friend has noticed that she will see people pointing and looking at my hair as i walk by them. haha. i have not noticed it, or thought my hair was such a big deal, but i guess people are not used to seeing my grade of hair in this style. haha.
oh.and on saturday i was able to go to my first european soccer game. we had awesome seats. and must i say again the food i ate at the soccer game was delicious. we had bratwurst, and that little dog was so good. so good. one of the most memorable things about being in different countries has been tasting the different foods at each country. it is a big part of the culture to taste the food, and i have definitely been indulging in the food of each country.i had two gelato ice cream cones yesterday.yes two.haha. the flavors were so tasty. they had one flavor that tasted like ferrer rocher chocolates, and they had this other flavor of ice cream that looked grey. but it was so delicious. for my second ice cream cone, i just went over to the stand and just selected two flavors without the translation from katha, our german friend. and they were still two great choices.
ah. glad i was able to send a few words to my blog. but the trip has been great so far, and it continues to get better. we will be meeting up with some of katha's friends and have a little celebration for my birthday...and tomorrow we will have some german cake!! i am so addicted to the german food. the bread is so great..we are about to leave again...just wanted to send a small update...i can't believe i am in germany, my birthplace, for my actual birthday. ah. so surreal. cheers!
