A Day on the Rhine

This weekend was BUSY! It started out on Friday with an awesome Pizza night at a friends house. That was great! Lots of fun hanging out with cool people. :)

Then, on Saturday, I went to a Rotary event. It was in Pohl at a reconstructed castle. Because of that, we first went on a tour before having a dinner. It was quite interesting, but a little difficult to follow along. You know. In German and all. Then was the dinner where I met some cool past exchange student. It was a nice evening.

On a side note, learning German has been getting easier and easier. I am finally understanding more! But I still have a long way to go. I think I am really annoying my Host sister. I am always asking her questions about what things are in German, if my sentence structure is correct, and so on. I also have a little vocabulary book I carry around with me. I write down words I want to know, or don't know, and then translate them later! It is quite useful.

Anyhow. Today we went on a boat on the Rhine. It was so beautiful. We went from Sankt Goarshausen to Rüdesheim. Then we got out and walked around in Rüdesheim. What a great day! Here are some pictures.




My school is the big blue building!

Grandma and Grandpa-- I found a place for you to park your RV... Haha.
