Really loving waking up in Germany, but not when I know I have to leave in an hour or so. Elise and I got cleaned out of our room and went down for breakfast. When we had just finished, Christoph arrived to help us pay our bill, and drive us the train station. Julie was also going to the station and Sara came along to say goodbye. It was really nice to see Sara this morning when there were less people and stress around to say goodbye. We got to the Kassel-Wilhelm...

I am in Germany, I AM IN GERMANY! Amazing. I opened the shades on our windows and it was sunny gorgeous. I quickly got dressed so I could get some breakfast and go out and explore Homberg. When I got down to breakfast there was a fabulous spread of breads, spreads, cold cuts, fruit, etc. I was having trouble telling the lady working that I did not want coffee, just water, and a fellow in the corner piped in and told her what I was saying. That fellow is Max, a fr...

Then we walked to his apartment, drew him a picture of the tree we climbed, the stone wall we sat on overlooking the necropolis and skyline, put it in the bag with the cheetos, and tied it to his door as a surprise ...

A fire alarm was our wake up call today at 7 a.m., not fo bad considering my alarm was set for 7:30. Got up and met up with some of our ladies for continental breakfast. We all parted ways, some to go work on photography project, others to get tattoos. I went back upstairs to write, and upload and organize more photos. I may or may not have taken a short cat nap, because the last two days I have lost sleep. I have taken only a few naps on this trip, because I try...
