second day at Stifters
I'm sitting in my room and I've just finished my second breakfast with the Stifters. I suppose a recap is in order.
After we left our belongings in the hotel, we went up to Frankfurt am Main. it was beautiful there, and I fianlly bought decent batteries for my camera. I also got some postcards there,. We walked out of the mai Frankfurt am Main Platz, across a bridge, and found a boat cafe. It is very frustrating to be the only one who understands! Everyone asks me if they don't get something. Anyway, we went to the boat cafe, but nodoby was there, even though they had movable signs that were out and advertising and appeared to be open. We walked into the inside, since nobody was on the deck. It was a bar, but we thought, at first, we had walked into the owner's house. She asked if we'd like to sit on deck, and i thought she was telling me that they were closed. Once we finally got sorted out and sat down, I ordered veggie lasagna and mineral water. It was delicious, but it was 7,50 euro. Food's not cheap there. Walking back from the cafe, we found drunk guys with beer boxes on their headds. They wanted us to give money to have our pictures taken with them. Then we went back to Frankfurt am Main and there was a protest. Community (public) doctors were on strike because they were having to work longer hours but were getting a paycut.
We walked back to the hotel and watched the Fairly Odd Parents in German until Frau Koch arrived. All of us were so tired, she gave up on even trying to speak to us in English.
We had a welcoming party when we arrived in Hockenheim. Julia gave me a hug and her mother fave me flowers. Her family was very nice, but it was intimidating to suddenly need to speak in German. We had coffee and cake at the party, everything was good. I really love German coffee.
We came home and I unpacked and gave everytone their gifts. Julia got me some nice Puma lotion and shower stuff.
