Weekend Number 3

It's been weird adjusting to the lack of internet/phone access here in Germany, though perhaps that's because I've been being cheap - I don't want to have to pay to be on the internet. It makes communication with the States a bit sporadic, which is difficut when you're trying to work something out, as both Sarah and I have experienced.

We only had German on Friday, as Dr. Wasser was with Prissy, and then he left for Berlin early. It's not really a big deal though, we were all ready for a break. I stayed home this weekend with my family, and I am so glad I did - we had so much fun. On Saturday we went to Roermond, and shopped at the designer factory outlet, and then took a horse carriage ride in town and got some ice cream.. I had some apple Eis that was sooo amaying - not creamy, but delicious! We then took the boys to a water/play park, which was huge - they had about 15 different things to play on in different forms, like a ship, sub, etc. and a wading pool and labyrinth, among everything. Well worth the .80€ a person. On Sunday I slept in and then for dinner we ate at Max's parents house again, it was nice, although I didn't understand much at all, almost all of the conversation was in German.

This week we leave for Bavaria. It seems odd to think about not seeing the March family at all this week until Friday. I've become so comfortable catching the train to wherever I need to go. There is no more anxiety there, and I'm even reacting to sudden changes in the schedule when it comes to trains better than that first week.
