This year.. two people have tried to steal my head phones when running..
the first time was an 8 yr old boy..
the second time.. yesterday a guy passed me on a motorcycle.. turns around.. comes back from behind me and tries to steal them..
it was so weird.

Last German Class!

Today was my last day at the VHS (My German class)
Sadly not many people showed up today..
the course usually lasts for 3 hours.. but we just did an hour today then had a going away party thing for me.. which was really nice..
everyone brought something to eat or drink..
i bought  german flag for everyone to sign..
they gave me a card and my german teacher gave me a really nice book.. it's a german language book with exercises in it taught through Duesseldorf history! They also contacted people from our previous German course...so it was nice to see them again : )

LAST SUPPER

Last night I made my last "thank you" meal for the Pfisters..
on the menu was:

• Rhubarb & Red wine beef tenderloin
• Honey soy salmon
• seared fennel in lemon
• Grilled Veggies in a miso sauce
• home made rosemary lemon foccacia

was all eaten : )
after dinner.. evy and peter were drinking red wine.. when evy took a whiff of it and said " Peter.. it smells like cheesey feet" hahahahahha

Biking

Saturday night Leonie was in another town for a birthday party so it was just me, peter and evy. It was about 79-81 degrees all day. A friend who is studying English at a nearby University came by  to record my voice for her oral exam. After that I went running to Duesseldorf where there was a gay pride festival on the Rhine.. that was pretty cool. I got home around 6:00pm and went to dinner with Peter and Evy. We rode our bikes to a nearby town.. and for any one who has visited me.. they know that it isn’t flat.. in fact it’s very hilly… and after running for two hours.. yes.. I felt the burn. But that doesn’t matter because it was a gorgeous night and dinner was good. With this whole Ecoli deal… it’s slim pickins for a vegetarian hahah. Oh well…..

SURPRISE!

Sunday I got my surprise from the Pfisters.. we drove to Essen (about 45 minutes away) and pulled up to this Segway place.. it was supposed to rain the ennnnntire day.. and hadn’t yet so we followed through with our plans. They knew that I had ridden segways in Florida and didn’t really like it.. so I think that this was an “overcoming your fears” metaphorical surprise…It was a lot of fun though.. it was more of a country side tour..until it started to get really stormy in one part so we sat down in an ice cream café on the second floor.. then it starts to POUR.. I mean really pour ive never seen anything like it.. it started to flood the outdoor seating.. we had to go inside haha. Oh well.. it was still fun. I actually got the hang of riding a segway. We came back to Mettmann and made dinner.. we were right in the middle of watching this movie called Italian for Beginners.. we were all making bets about what would happen and then all of the sudden our power went out.. and remained out for the rest fo the night.. it wasn’t even storming either so no one really knows why it went out.. super weird.. but oh well. The concludes my last free/relaxing weekend here in mettmann, germany and Europe. Next weekend is my going away party/Leonies birthday party.

Day off

Today I didn't have school...
I slept in.. had brunch with mi familia.. then headed to Koeln with some friends to see this animal body exhibit at teh zoo.. it wasnt all that it was cracked up to be.. and took up teh whole day.. but it was fun.. we were going to ride to another town to have dinner because the weather was perfect but Leonie didn't feel like it so we ended up driving adn the dogs tagged along. It was a spanish restaurant.. because of the whole Ecoli epidemic here they didnt have gazpacho.. : (oh well.. There was a shrimp head left on teh table which we were planning on feeding to Lucky or Mila.. Sven didn't want to do it.. and Evy goes "Sven.. it's not living any more!!" so Peter picks it up and is like see it's easy.. he tosses it to Lucky (who is sitting right beside him) and Lucky misses it.. hitting it with his nose and knocks it back into Peters lap hahahahah it was hilarious... guess you had to have been there.. any way it was good..

Comedy

So my birthday present was a comedy show which we went to on Monday..
it was absolutely hilarious.. basically 3 women talking/acting out this whole wedding situation.. and they were all best friends.. tehy touched on men, life, luck, money, blah blah.. it was hilarious.. and a lot of fun!
