Berlin-Poland Adventures

Pheww, finally back home in Aix. What did I do the last week you might ask. Well:

Showed up in Dortmund Germany on my way to Berlin.
Saw the whole of Berlin in one whirl wind day. Not the most attractive city but a very important one.
Trained it to Poznan Poland early Friday morning where I met the Sgrois and Micelis. Thus began the adventures. Somewhere between tours of the city, always being late and the cousin getting married we managed to eat one meal for the duration of 8 hours and knock off many bottles of vodka. The traditional alcohol count for a polish wedding reception is one bottle for every guest. WHAT!
Spent Sunday recovering. Monday retrained it back to Berlin, this time with 7 others. Sent the 7 on their way to Florence and I stuck around Berlin another day. Saw a concentration camp north of the city-wow. That is just one of those things that you have to see in order to understand the horror behind it.
Flew back to Nice and then finally to Aix.

It was wonderful to see the family and intreguing to see the Polish and American families attempt to integrate despite a very large language barrier. A little vodka seemed to clear that up.

The 7 who popped to Italy will be here in Aix by Friday. Next weekend MaryFaith and friends are coming and the weekend after that I might be going to Germany for World Cup fun. Then I leave!! NOoooooo :( This last month is going to be pack full of fun and adventure so I won't think about leaving untill I have to. Hope everyone is well!

PS Got an email and I haven't graduated yet. It has been moved to this summer. I'm still an official student!! YYIIPPPEEEEEEE How long do you think I can stave off the end?

(: Still here

hhmm sorry for the retard. After all that sitting around of the greve, the three weeks of traveling threw off my groove of doing nothing and I got a little etourdie. Things are beginning to pick up around here. Upon returning from Italy, Spain and travels in the south of France with mon pere et mon Oma I commenced the coursage. But alas, two are on the verge of being canceled so I need not stress out on studying. Passed a week by being homesick. I still am but I got it into my thick skull that I am coming home in a month and a half and I should make the most of my time. This saturday we all hiked up a mountain and slept at the summit. That was loads of fun with loads of food and du vin. It took a little fresh air to regain my senses from the pensés of Chicago. I have met the most fabulous people here and I am sure that just about the time I really get to know them we will all be prending our planes homeward bound. Fortunately many of then live in that cluter of funny french speakers above us called Canada and one of the Brits will be in Wisconsin this summer. Aix continunes worldwide.

Next week it's to Poland for the cuz's wedding but first I am passing par Berlin to check out the non existant wall. I am really looking forward to the "Sgroi/Miceli take Europe" adventure. Hopefully at the end of June, as one last excursion, a friend, Katie, and I are going to have a pint of the World Cup in Munich. Still trying to convince Lucas to come. You too...you should come. Might be going to Loire next weekend to stay with a friend. If not, we are mounting the mountain again: good for the buttox.

Who is my cousin who calls themself PBandJ? ...I am sure I love you but I don't know who you are.

Apparently I graduate Friday. Woah.... I had better discuss that with a pastery and coffee. GROS beeeezzzooooos à tous le monde.
