DAY 8- THE BORING DAY

All we did today was relax, play soccer and watch soccer I was voting for Belgium but France won (1 : 0). I really cant tell you much more that happened on this day THE END

Munich, one of Germany's four largest cities (along with Berlin, Frankfurt, and Hamburg). today we all took a four-hour train from Kassel to Munich at which we stayed at my parents' longtime friends' house. Then we picked up their kids from school and had ice cream and thats pretty much all we did.

Day 6 – Last Day in Korbach

Most of the day was spent recovering from yesterday's party. Inspired by the World Cup, Leo and I played soccer early in the morning. I tried a Maradonna right off and immediately regretted it. Leo of course did not since it must've been one of the most hilarious things he's ever seen. We spent theContinue reading "Day 6 – Last Day in Korbach"

Day 5 – Family reunion (Oma Hedwig’s side)

It's not often that my mom gets to have all her kids together in one place. Maybe every two years or so. Adding more members of her family to that mix is even rarer - probably something like every 5 years - and then it's still only part of her family. So when it workedContinue reading "Day 5 – Family reunion (Oma Hedwig’s side)"

Day 4 – Soccer Playing in Germany

So first what i did today was wake up at a unusual time because I was used to 6 hours behind so I woke up at 12:00 and said to my mom, "Do want to go play soccer?" She obviously said yes. So we played soccer until this guy named Tai came in and thatContinue reading "Day 4 – Soccer Playing in Germany"

Day 3 – interesting things…

"Interesting" things happened today, nothing more, nothing less. To start, I woke up at 12:00 AM (since I was used to a different time zone) and read till three AM and then went back to bed, then i woke to my mom telling me to wake up, and finally i was fully awake atContinue reading "Day 3 – interesting things…"

Day 2 – Arrival in Germany

Now officially on vacation after our passport debacle! 6.5 hour overnight flight on Lufthansa was just long enough for dinner and breakfast (3 hours apart), which preempted any chance of real sleep. We arrived groggily at uncle Niko's in Frankfurt just in time to catch up with him and 3+y/o cousin before they went toContinue reading "Day 2 – Arrival in Germany"

Day 1 – aka Ground Zero

Sometimes the best laid plans go horribly awry. I’m not saying that this travel day was the worst I’ve had (that honor probably still goes to that one time, long ago when I saw my plane take off as I was arriving at the airport), but as Leo accurately observed when Bill asked him whatContinue reading "Day 1 – aka Ground Zero"

Day 40 — The End

I was supposed to write this last blog post on the day of the trip to Omaha from the Badlands... but the drive was so exhausting and uneventful (though we did visit Minuteman National Historic Park—very well done and sobering) that I thought I'd give myself some time to drive back to Asheville and getContinue reading "Day 40 — The End"
