It is 21:11 (9:11pm) here in Braunschweig Germany! I am at Katrin´s parents house. It has been an eventful few days. I am just glad to be here.
The flight out on Tuesday the 18th at 7:20pm (it was late!) was very long, I am always up for an adventure & I would have enjoyed it better if I weren´t so sick. On the flight to Amsterdam I watched Juno- very cute movie go see it! Also I had Andre the Giant behind me pushing his knees in my back the entire trip!!! I couldn´t put my seat back because he was so tall! Also there were 3 babies on the plane all sitting by me & they all cried off & on! I could not sleep because I could not breathe. Once at Amsterdam I waited 2 hours after I walked 2 miles to my gate. I slept on a bench for 1 hour then waited for my flight.
I arrived in Hambug at 5pm on Wednesday the 19th, 17 1/2 hours later we went to Katrins house to visit & see where she & Roland lived. Then we drove 2 hours here to Braunschweig to her Parents Manfred & Ilse. They live in a beautiful house with gardens & a lake behind it. I told them I am moving in! We ate dinner: fish, onions, cranberries in cream sauce (very good) potatoes & salad. I had a Coke lite not quite diet coke but it worked. I then showered & went to bed at 9pm here. I slept until 6am I woke up & looked outside to the beautiful view! WOW! I went back to bed until 10am dressed & then ate breakfast, fresh bread, jam, fish, tea. We left at noon to goto town to her fathers shoe store he owns. We picked up the flowers for the wedding, went shopping at the mall which is in a castle where Katrin got her nails done for the wedding. I shopped around the shoe store later while she got her makeup done, I didn´t get any shoes yet hopefully I can go back. It is a national holiday on Fri & MOn so everything will be closed for 4 days.
I am really sick with a BAD sinus infection so I am miserable! But luckly Manfreds good friend is a doctor so they called him & we were able to get me some antibiotics for my sinus infection. The doctor faxed in the order & Manfred put it under his insurance & I have taken 2 pills so far & feel a bit better. Got to love universal heath care!!!! I am not happy that I am so sick.
Katrin & Roland were married today at 4pm in the city hall. Which is next to the 700 year old church!
It is very different than what we do in the US. Tomorrow Fri is a big party at her parents house, then Sat is the Wedding where she will wear a white dress & everything! Tonight after the marriage we went out to eat at a nice restaurant, I couldn´t make it too late so they sent me home in a taxi! SO I am here now telling you about it all!
The keyboard is different here, the letters are mixed up etc. So I will post pictures later when I figure that out.
