On Sunday Ralf's(the father of the children that I babysit for) parents came for a visit. Ralf's sister and her family came to visit as well. It was nice, I spent some time speaking with her 15-year-old daughter. We spoke German with each other but she can speak English, as she studies it in school. We all went to the pond together to go swimming, which was nice. We swam for a really long time so I was definitely exhausted by the end.
Yesterday we went to the pond with Ralf's mother, and last evening we ate outside at the hotel restaurant across the street from us. I had one Alster (a German drink that is half beer, half lemonade), and was drunk/happy for 2 hours after. I cannot believe how low my alcohol tolerance has become. I've always been a cheap date, but that was pathetic...
Today we took the bus to downtown Goslar with the kids. I bought a German magazine, ate delicious Italian gelatto, and tried not to buy anything more. Money is definitely tight and I have to keep costs to a minimum until I find some sort of a job out here (probably just babysitting or tutoring). When I think of all of the things I still have to pay for: bedding, residency permit, health insurance...I about have a heart attack. Let's hope some sort of a job opportunity presents itself!
Bye, Molly
