I had a good weekend =]

On Friday I stayed home with the family... No one at school invited me to do anything, but that was okay because I was tired and didnt feel like going out. I stayed up late by myself watching movies and stuff which was fun. On Saturday after lunch I took the train to Ehingen. That is the town that Courtney lives in. She showed me around and we had pizza and ice cream. Around 9:00pm we went to the bus stop to go home, but realized after about 20 mins of waiting that the buses stopped coming at around 7:00. Courtneys cellphone was dead and mine has no minutes left, so we had to use a pay phone to call her host mother. When we got a hold of her she came to pick us up.. But while we were waiting, these random kids were talking to us, they were so crazy. We didnt undertsnad hardly anything they wer saying, even when they were speaking English. We thought they were so weird, and when Courtneys host mom pulled up, it turns out they knew each other. All the boys are friends with Courtneys host sister that is living in the US right now.. When we got home we decided to make velveeta shells n cheese. Even though we already had dinner, we were still hungry for this american meal. So we made it, and asked her host sister if she would like some. She tried it and didnt like it, which is really weird. Her host family thought we were crazy for eating it out of a bowl. They eat pretty much everything on plates here. I slept over and we woke up for breakfast at 10.. The breakfast at her house was much better than the breakfast my family has. After that we went back in her room and just hung out for a while. We went to ask her host mom what time I should go home, and she said that they needed to go to Ulm today, because they own some store or something here, and they had work to do. So she told Courtney to come to Ulm with me for a few hours while they go to their place. So she took the train with me back to Ulm, and she got to see my house. My host father took us to the mall after lunch, and we were planning on just hanging out there for a while... But we ended up shopping a little of course. We only had an hour because Courtneys host parents were picking her up from my house at 4. So we came back here and she got picked up. I just took a shower and my host parents are visiting my host brother Daniel in the hospital. He is the one in the army and he is sick. I dont know how bad it is or even what he has, but they dont seem really worried. He will be okay, but he has to stay in the army hospital thing for a week. Thats sad because Daniel is really cool and cute. Tomarrow I have to go back to school, which kinda sucks. But I only have a 4 day school week because on Friday I am going to the Black Forest for a week. Its a Rotary Conferance for all inbounds in my district. Courtney is going, so I'm sure we will have fun. Here are some crazy pictures of our night.

Miss you all!

Love, Megan
