So I thought I'd never do it, and I finally did. I called my guest family. As much as I didn't want to, as much as I kicked and screamed... I called them. It was 9pm over there when I called today around 3pm, and my host mum was at home. It was such a great conversation! Sixteen full minutes of German! Apparently, she doesn't check her email very often at all, and her daughter is away on some island (?) and may not have access to an internet cafe.
What a relief to have finally made contact. She (Heike, pronounced Hi-kuh) will pick me up from the Bahnhof when I arrive in Münster 2 weeks from Sunday (their time). I am currently working out using my calling card. Looks like it will cost about 51 cents per minute to call home, and 58 cents per minute to call the family from a payphone... I realize this makes little sense.
I'm just trying to work out all these kinks so I can have a smooth trip! I made a travel calendar so I can plan out when I will use my rail pass and when not.
Well that's it for now... until next time, folks!!
Liebe Grüße,
Caiti
