I just wrote an e-mail to mom on the computer in the hotel lobby. It was very difficult because the letters were all switched around.
Now I'm sitting in the hotel room and it's very hot. It's probably 85 degrees, but outside it's in the high 70s, much cooler.
I've just put on makeup and I feel extremely fake. It reminds me of why I don't usually wear (much) makeup.
Last night it turned to dusk around 9, twilight at 9:45, and finally got dark at 10:30. This morning I woke up around1, thinking it was time to get up because it was light out. That light was because of the party scene around the hotel, though. Then this morning I woke up again around 4:30 or 5. The sun was coming up and people were already working outside. I love having it light so long, except that the Germans sleep very late.
Breakfast this morning was good. The man said "Good Morning" (I didn't think we looked like Americans) but I said "Guten... Morning?" He threw me off. I had a roll with poppy seeds with butter and cheese. They eat sandwiches for breakfast. I also had a small bowl of granola with very thick milk (it may have actually been cream. ew.), coffee, and what the guy in the hotel called "multi-juice." Everything was good. The juice was grapefruit, orange, and pineapple mixed with mineral water. I looove mineral water, and I thought I wouldn't. The coffee here is great. The sugar at breakfast came out in little pellets, and I didn't realize that each little tiny pellet was about a tablespoon of sugar. They were so small, so of course I took about a dozen little pellets into my coffee. It was a 4 ounce cup.
My hair feels really good, and I don't know if it's because of the water. The shower has a detachable head and the toilet has buttons on the top. At first, most of us (myself included) thought the toilet buttons were a box of tissues.
It's almost time to check out. We're seeing if we can leave our things at the hotel so we can wander Frankfurt. Jeffrey says the drive to Hockenheim is 3 hours long. Perhaps during that time I can learn subjunctive mood and a little more vocabulary. I need batteries for my camera. I've been through eight batteries to take 3 pictures. Rebekkah says I need digital camera batteries.
Bis Später.
