döners

So, as anticipated, the last night in Prague was pretty rough. I had to say goodbye to all my apartment buddies on the tram. Horrible. Katie and I cried through most of it and into the next morning when we said bye to each other. I guess thats a sign of a good trip though, when you don't want it to end.

The next morning I woke up early and bid all the K building folk a fond farewell before boarding my bus to Stuttgart, Germany. I fell asleep and woke up to a wintery wonderland which was great until it meant that there was much traffic on the way into the city and the bus was delayed almost an extra hour. Luckily, Eva and David were still at the bus stop eagerly awaing my arrival. I forgot how much I missed them and how happy I was to be there. That night we took it pretty easy and I was in bed by ten, trying to make up for my lack of sleep the previous night.

Yesterday I got to sleep in while Julia was in class and then I woke up and read for a while before Julia got back. When she got home she whipped up some delicious Maultashen, one of my favorite German foods. It was delicious! After that we just hung out and at about 8 Spence came and picked up me and David and we went and got döners. Delicious!! We took them back to his house and watched the Vfb Soccer game (the won!!) and then David and I came home and watched The Dark Knight.

Today Julia and I went into the city and walked around the Christmas market. It is so much bigger and different than the one in Prague. It has a little mini train that takes little kids around, a great ice rink, lots of glühwein, and all the stalls are decorated so well! It was awesome. Tonight the plan is to meet up with some of her friends from school - my friends from GAPP. That should be a lot of fun!

Its been hard to think about other stuff than my friends I've left but I think its much easier here than it would be at home!
