Germany 2011 -Day 2

OCTOBER 3^RD –MONDAY –DAY 2

Today we got up at 7:00am even though we wanted to get up at 8:00am. The alarm this morning was “I’m a Barbie girl.” At 9:00am we had breakfast. It was a bun with nutella and there was the option of having salami and cheese. This morning we had lesson since we did not have it last night, but before lesson we had a little bit of free time. Since we had a lot of dead ladybugs in our room we decided to get rid of them. We used so facial wipes to get them out on the windowsill then we used a hair dryer to blow them away. Then we went down for lesson at 10:00am. We learnt some phrases that we needed to know while we were in Vluyn in the afternoon. After lesson we had lunch, which was pork, potatoes, gravy and, veggies. And for dessert we had chocolate pudding. It was all very good. Then we walked into Vluyn, the walk took us just over an hour. When we finally arrived we set of on our tasks that we were given in lesson. We had to walk around all the shops in Vluyn and find some names that matched the type of stores on our sheet. We found all of them except for the butcher shop. When we were done that we had to order ice cream from the ice cream parlor. We had to do it in German, you had to say “Ich mochte, bitte zwei keglen vinillice.” This means I would like two scoops of vanilla ice cream pleases. When I was in line waiting to get my ice cream I was practicing how to say everything and the German people behind me were laughing at me. But I was very happy because I was able to order what I wanted. When everyone was done their ice cream we headed back. On the way back we realized that both of the times that we were walking much have been bike rush hour! There are so many bikers and they don’t slow down or move out of the way for anything, especially walkers. The ring there bells at you like crazy until you move out of the way. Some people almost got run over! We then got back just over an hour later. When w got back we realized that we walked more than 7 miles. We had 45 minuets of free time before dinner so we played basketball. Then we had dinner at 6:30pm, it was the exact same as last night, salami, cheese, and bread and veggies. The only thing that was different was the dessert I was a cherry cake or yogurt. I had the cherry cake and it was very good! We had an hour of free time before we had lesson, me and Natalie wrote for a bit then we went down to join the game of soccer, it was boys vs. girls. The game wasn’t fair though because there were 27 girls and 6boys and the girls also had about 6 people or more in the goal at one time. But of curse the girls won! Then we had lesson, which lasted about 2 and a half hours, from 8:00pm to 10:00 or 10:30pm. In lesson we learned about what we need for tomorrows trip so that we know how to say stuff. Tomorrow we are going back to vluyn for about an hour then we are going to Köln.
