We - Claire, Lucy, Katie, and I - went out Friday night but started the night out at Katie's. It was a late night at Waxy's and O'Reilys!Sunday I woke up feeling a bit sick but got it together and biked as fast as I could to the train station to meet up with Katie and Becca to go to Heidelberg for the day! It is a really cute town about an hour away that is known for it's cuteness, the University there, and there is an American army base there too. On the train we saw that it had snowed outside of the city - so pretty! And then it was lightly snowing while we were wandering around the cute town! Loved it. It was freezing though. The high temperature for this week is 0 degrees celcius and the high on Thursday is -7. So basically it's really cold, but there is now precipitation aka no snow. LAME. Anyways. . that was a total side note. So our friend Claire comes and meets us in
Our train is at 5:24. We leave the markets at 5 thinking we can grab a taxi easy peasy. Not so much. We can't find one anywhere! So we start running. One passes but it is full of people. Another passes but doesn't see us. Finally we catch one jump in likitysplit we are off. The driver thinks we are from Sweden. Umm no. As we are driving I'm trying to get the money ready to pay and just keep adding coins to my hand and I can barely carry everything, we keep hitting red lights, and then I see that it is already 5:24. Bad news Bears. We pull up to the station I through the money at him and we run inside at 30 after. Running through throngs of people down the stairs and there we see our train - JUST PULLING OUT aka if one of those damn lights had been green we would have made it! I ended up just buying another ticket - only cost 9.50 and got a quicker train back so that I would be back in time to take the car to pick up the fam (who had been in Dresden for the weekend) from the other train station. So since I was already feeling kind of ill I think after all this crazyness I can't be surprised that I got sick. My German teachers Mom died last Monday- Sad day! And she had to teach classes all last week. SO strange. How could they not just find a substitute for her?! Anyways, yesterday was the funeral so I didn't have class which ended up being very very nice since I spent almost the whole day in bed with a slight fever!
Baking Party!!! Since I can't bake a bazillion mas cookies at home I'm just going to have to try and bake a few here! Katie and her friend visiting her, Becca, came over and made/decorated sugar cookies with me on Saturday after we wandered the city and Christmas markets. It was a nice way to end the day! Katie made some potato wedges and I made guac and we feasted! lol.
