Wochenende Samstag
So on Saturday I slept in late. Jana came in and woke me up at 12:30. We went downstairs and ate breakfast. I had coffee and bread with Nutella and fresh strawberries. Everything was so fresh and yummy.
Then I showered because, boy I needed one. I got myself ready and even straightened my hair. Jana's parents asked me if I wanted to join them on a walk and I did. We took a walk around the hills/farmland for an hour and a half. Then we went to a cafe for tea and cake. I had strawberry cake with coffee. We talked and visited with friends. Then we listened to a German band. Jana described them as elfs and singing about witches. She said they were quite weird. Jana's mom left then to make pasta salad (Nudelsalat).
Once we finished our coffee and cake, Jana, her father and I went to an art gallery. But an outside gallery with earth art. It was different. The artist made stuff with feathers, sand, rocks, shells, pine cones and leaves and flowers. We took a tour of his art and his small farm. We saw his chickens and donkeys. Jana and I picked fresh eggs and drank fresh apple juice. That was a new experience for me but it was fun. Then we went back home to get ready for the barbeque.
We left for the barbeque. In the car we listened to American music with artists like Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Coldplay, John Legend and others. I knew most of the music. When we got to the party, I joined Jess, Olivia and Kourtney on the teeter-totter. Jess showed me how to juggle a soccer ball. Alex taught me how to slack-line. We even made up a game on the slack-line, whoever falls off first loses. I was not every good at this game. Then we played frisbee and volleyball before dinner.
Soon dinner was ready and we ate. I had two sausages, something-Wurst. It was a red sausage with pasta salad and fruit. We mingled with the German kids in English and German. Alex even taught me a new word "Dirlich". He said it was another way of saying "naturlich" or "of course". I made several new friends at the barbeque.
After dinner I just talked with Emma, Alex and Olivia for a really long time, then we played frisbee until it was time to go. When we got home, I was so tired so I slipped into my pajamas and went to bed. Because tomorrow I have to wake up early.

Wochenende-Sonntag
June 1, 2014 Sunday
On the 1st, we didn't do too many things. However, what we did was more than enough fun.
Being the lazy (and sick at the time) oaf that I am, I slept until nice and late (11:47) and then hurriedly readied myself, scarfing down a delicious croissant and speeding out the door to the ropes course with Robin and his mother. We shortly arrived at the ropes course (Fun Forest), geared up with Joshua and began climbing through the canopy.
The first path that we embarked on was an easier climb, some parts proving harder than others, but the payoff (two ziplines over the lake) made it well worth it. With the first course conquered, we moved on to the next tier of difficulty. The ascent of this course proving harder that that of its predecessor. While the payout of this path was not as grand as the ziplines, the journey was as, if not more, fun.
After the course, we made our way into the center of town, partaking in a laser-light show and a Wheel-of-Fortune-esque game among other things. After having fun in town, we made our way back to Robin's house, ate some delicious dinner and played computer games until 1:00.
