So I’m headed to Berlin early tomorrow morning and won’t be home until Saturday. It should prove a very enlightening and fun trip. It’s a school trip with AIB, so they’ve packed plenty for us to do each day, such as museum visits, government visits, bicycle city tours, movies, nice dinners… the works. And I’ll… [Read more…]

The weekend before last I traveled to Switzerland for a relaxing weekend with my 3 buddies. We headed to Locarno to stay with Robby, a childhood friend of Stephanie’s dad. He is in his early 50′s and was a really fun and outgoing guy. Not only did he put us up for the weekend, but… [Read more…]

Sorry that this isn’t as good a post as I was wanting to write… I’m headed to Switzerland in about half an hour so I’m in a rush. Well spring break was pretty amazing this year. We traveled to Rome, Florence and Venice, spending a few days at each city, though you could spend months… [Read more…]

So Spring Break is finally here (crept up fast!) I will be doing as the Romans do. I’m actually leaving in less than two hours (that’s around midnight). First my group o’ four is headed to Rome.

So we got out of school for a 5 day weekend starting last Thursday for Karneval! Basically, Karneval is like Mardi Gras except less flashing, there’s public drinking, it’s nation wide, and it lasts for 5 days. Not wanting to miss out on real cultural experiences, I dressed up as a clown and took to… [Read more…]

Today I woke up, cleaned up, filled up, packed up, good-bye’d up, and headed out! We made the long, arduous, 30 minutes odyssey from Lohe to Bonn. It was all rainy and drizzly, a slow-feeling day. Once we got to the AIB office I found someone, we figured out where I needed to go, and… [Read more…]

Yesterday Monica (Mrs. Brozi) and I headed a few minutes down the road to Bensberg! This is where she does most of her shopping, and also where she works! (She works in a hospital in the maternity ward I believe). We parked at the St. Nikolaus Cathedral and went inside. St. Nikolaus is the Brozi’s… [Read more…]

This weekend Pommy dropped me off at the Brozi’s near Koln and drove back to Frankfurt after church Sunday evening. This morning I woke up bright and early so that I could get ready for school. No, my semester hasn’t started yet, but I still had classes today. That’s because I joined Sylvana at school… [Read more…]

Thursday night Julia, Pommy and I met a friend, Lisa, and then went out to give this Texan a taste of the German night life. We went to a local bar/club that was was throwing a study break party for the students in Frankfurt. As crazy and wild as I was thinking that a German… [Read more…]
