These past few days have been pretty fun and relaxing....it was our first weekend with no international travel! On Thursday we went to Trier, which lies just barely east of the country Luxembourg. While we were there we saw some ancient Roman ruins, shopped and ate in the downtown area, and even got to go to Karl Marx house! Karl Marx's house was a very typical german home from the exterior, the interior however was filled with all sorts of communist memorabilia. After visiting his house we went took a bus more to the country side to the region of Auhrweiler and did some wine tasting!
Friday we had class for half of the day and then later that night we went out to an Italian Restaurant and a Tapas Bar with some nice German people we met!
Saturday was a girls day and turned out to be one of the most unexpected days ever. A few of the girls on the trip and I went to an adorable tea house in Bonn and we lounged for a few hours with our tea and crumpets! After tea we took the train to the Monte Mare Spas, which had saunas, a wave pool, jacuzzis, slides, and lap pools. When we entered the sauna area we found ourselves in a quite interesting yet extremely awkward position. The workers told us that we had to be naked to use the saunas and steam rooms! We had already paid to use the saunas so we decided that the experience would hopefully override the awkwardness... so we all stripped! YES I Brittany Sobel got naked in public.... you may not believe it...it may take a while to soak in but I can assure you it is 100% true! haha. Getting naked I think cursed me because the day only got worse from there... later that night we got lost on the trains, I almost got into a fight with a group of horribly belligerent ignorant men, and did not get home until after 5am!
Today was a delicious and relaxing day... my host sister took my friends and I to this awesome gelateria where I had an amazing Tiramisu Ice cream Sunday, and a great Italian Cappuccino. My friend Gina came over afterward and we watched "What Happens In Vegas" on my computer! : )
