Half way through the vacation...
We have made it to the half way point in our vacation and I'm not too happy about it. I really do like it here. There is so much to see and do that I can't even begin to tell you all about it but I will try.
Our first day in Germany was basically spent travelling to Bad Segeberg. We flew into Köln and had to wait there for 3 hours before we could catch our train to Hamburg. The train trip lasted 4 hours and that was where we met Nele and her parents. They all greeted us at the station which was awesome. Nele was so happy to see us and I think her parents were also. That night we went back to Nele's house and had a great dinner with her mom and step-dad. We stayed up a little later than we should have, but still got a great sleep that night.
On our second day I went into Bad Segeberg with Nele and her mom to go the market and pick up things for dinner. It is a bit like our farmer's market, but much cooler and with way more stuff. We bought meet there which was really neat. While I was doing this Tim and Joe were at one of the lakes swimming. Later that day we all went with Nele out to meet her friends in Bad Segeberg. There we walked around the town and shopped a bit, but not before getting some really good ice cream. Her friends are very nice and were so funny. That night we had a great dinner of lamb (never had it before....it was AEWSOME!!) and other things grilled, and some of Kerstin and Uwe's friends came by to visit. It was good to mee them too. We got to see them very relaxed and cutting up with friends. They are all such wonderful people!
On Thursday Tim and Joe went back to the lake while Nele and I went shopping in Bad Segeberg again (it's nice how she indulges me and my habits). That night we went to see Winnetou at the open air theatre. It was interesting to see a show in German. While I didn't understand the words they were saying I still understood the story (it was kind of like going to the opera in that respect). Joseph had a great time with all the fighting and blasts. I think he understood it better than Tim and I did.
On Friday we went to Berlin and I will write more about that later. We came back from Berlin yesterday afternoon.
Today I haven't done much but sit around the house and rest and get ready for a concert by Damien Rice that Nele is taking me to for my birthday. I'm excited about it. It should be a lot of fun. Joe and Tim are out at the lake...again...and should be home soon. I hope to be able to update everyone later. You will have to wait for pictures until I get back unless we can figure out a way to download them onto Nele's computer. We may not have time though.
I'm off to the concert now. I hope everyone has a good week.
