Back in Münster

Hi again,

So soon I am writing again! Well, that's ok. I met my host mom's daughter today, she is really nice. I wanted to post links to my Facebook albums since it simply takes too long to download pictures to two different albums...

Life in Münster
Backpacking in Bremen, Part I
Backpacking in Bremen, Part II

Make sure to click the next button in the corner, there are more pictures than what shows on the screen in the beginning.

I loved the train ride today, except we sat in the smoking section on accident so I noticed people lighting up and uuuggggh my throat hurts now. Tomorrow I'm getting a new class... hope its not toooooo hard and that its still enjoyable.

Next weekend we're doing a day trip to Köln (Cologne)... taking the train in the morning and then coming back in the evening. Should be fun! We decided not to stay overnight after all... Then the weekend after next I'm going to visit my cousins in Ingolstadt. I can't wait for that!

Hope you guys like my pictures. I miss you all and hope you are enjoying your summer. It's cold here, I've had to either wear a jacket or a sweater every day, and I sleep with three blankets! The weather in Bremen this weekend was amazing though, it was just great. What a fun fun fun weekend. I can't believe I have only been here one week! Oh man, mom told me that the 3 minute phone call I made from the airport cost $42! I can't believe that... my phone card wouldn't work so I used the number on the phone itself and maaaan... mom can just worry a bit before I get charged that much again!

Oh yeah the lady stamping tickets today didn't stamp our railpasses! So instead of having 8 days left we still have 9 days left on it... which I think I won't be able to use all of any way, but its cool. The train rocks man... so comfy and quick!

Last night we hung out with some Swedes in a cafe and one of them turns to me and the first thing he said was 'are you a Christian?' and I said 'yes, why?' and he said that the others told him I didn't like curse words... kind of funny how the first thing that came to his mind was that I must be a Christian and not a person who simply does not like curse words... and he started talking about how there should be more people like me who 'live like I do' but that they should not do it for God but for humanity, and he made a gesture as if to be pushing God aside... and said again, to focus on humanity... !?? I said no, that God created Humanity and to just push Him aside is obviously not a smart thing to do and I would never do it. Then he stopped talking to me, I think I turned him off to further conversation... but hopefully I turned him on to further thought.

In Bremen yesterday I talked to a guy who had a table set up with a bunch of literature about Jesus... I picked a couple pamphlets up and we talked briefly. I got this little comic book written in German about this guy who dies or dreams that he dies and meets God, who looks for his name in the Book of Life but does not find it... then he wakes up and becomes a Christian or something. You'll have to see it, its pretty neat.

It's 10:45 here and you guys are probably in the middle of Ground Zero if we had it today... aw, I miss ya'll! Well I am gonna go for now but hopefully I can keep up to speed with this here blog and picture stuff...

Love from Germany,
Caiti
