Using the bathroom on a train...

So last night Kristin and I went to see the movie  Ice Age 3, which was super cute, especially since it was in German ;)

So I wasn't feeling to chipper today, so I decided to just spend one night at Kristin's, and come back tonight.

Today we took the train to Weimar and then the bus to Buchenwald, where we saw the concentration camp. To be in there, to see the barbed wires, to see where this people were gassed, to stand there where they stood...it's impossible to explain. Incredibly emotional....I was speechless. Eventually my emotion turned to disgust. Across from the barbed wire there is what used to be a little zoo, where the S.S. and their family got to walk around and relax with their children. These people-the one's that were helping to kill those in the camps-had a zoo they could bring their children to-right across from the concentration camp. Disgusting. It's one thing to read about this in books, it's quite another to see the remains yourself. It's chilling. The camp is still there for all to see. Rightly so-a memorial to those who've died-and a reminder to us all never to let something so terrible happen again.

After that I ended up heading back to Hahnenklee. This involved 3 trains, a bus, and a walk back to the house. So on one of the trains, I sat across from this disgusting looking couple that felt the need to kiss each other every 2 seconds. I wanted to gag! Then,  I had to go to the bathroom. Have you ever tried going to the bathroom on a moving train? Oh my gosh. I kept swaying from side to side. I was surprised I was able to pee! Toilet paper flew everywhere when I tried to grab some. I survived though. After all three trains I had to make the bus. My train arrived at 8:04. My bus left at 8:05. So I had to run run run like a maniac down the steps, up the steps, and managed to just make the bus, only to realize that it was full and I'd have to stand. No biggie-at least I made it. The walk home was fine. I'm surprised nothing happened...would be just my luck.

I have a headache, not feeling too well, but trying to think positive and am looking forward to the rest of my stay here.

Adios, Molly
