The Trip so far

Hey peoples, it's Aaron. So yeah, Germany has been great so far. The first day we took a plane ride down and it took about 8 hours to get all the way to Fulda. The plane ride was awesome being my first time on the plane and we got to see the sun set and rise. We only got about 2 hours of actual night time. Most of the time i was visiting with others. I sat with Zach and some other dude who was explaining stuff to me on the plane. As we got off the plane the security guard who stamped my passport spoke in german right off the bat. The bus was a little late and it was a coach bus, it looked like a bowling alley. When we got to the school the Germans were all standing there with us still on the bus, so it was a little ackward until we got off. Hella, Lennart, and Mrs. Franke were there waiting for me and we pretty much left right away. Lennart wanted to show off so we went on the Autobahn and we got up to about 180 km\h. So pretty fast. When i got to the house i met his dad and we sat down for breakfast and i found out that his family is pretty much exatly like mine. Thery crack jokes all the time and his dad is funny and his mom is very sweet and makes someone feel welcome. After breakfast we went to do some stuff, but I forgot what and after that i took a 2 hour nap. We went to dinner then at the school and hung out. Chicken was served with other dishes. The next day i had jelly toast for breakast and went to the school for lessons. The first one I had was physics with hella. We also had 4 other germans with their americans in the class. For the beginning of class the teacher made us go to the front of the class and introduce ourselfs in german, which we did. and the class then started to ask us questions in english. After that we had a tour around the school and the picture outside the boys bathroom was halarious. after the tour we went into the gym and the band played us good songs such as pirates of the caribbean, rocky, and eye of the tiger. after this i went to lennart's political science class and played on the computer. then we had lunch and i had noodles with some type of sauce and meatballs. there was also this cold soup which didnt taste good to me at all. after this we went into the town and got ice cream and began a scavenger hunt around the town. we saw some very old buildings and a beautiful chruch and a castle. Some kids will have pictures. then we met the mayor in the castle and he welcomed us and we took many pictures of that meeting. after this we went home had some supper (i had lasagna) and we went bowling with the group. bowling is pretty much exactly what we have in america. so is the burger king which we went to after bowling and now i am typing about the trip at 24 in the morning. The streets are very small and germans like to drive fast and the signs are very confusing along with the streets. and the stop signs still say stop and have the same shape. the bathrooms a very different in which there are buttons to push and theres a urinal and the shower is a holding sprayer type deal and its pretty cool. so cant what till things to come. tomorrow im going swimming and friday to the club. YAY!!!!
