On Saturday I went to Munich with Brittany, Chuck, and Megan, 3 people from my program. They went Tracht shopping (Lederhose, Dirndl) while I went site-seeing, gift shopping for one of my host families, and finally, out to coffee with Angi! She is living in Munich at the moment. I hadn't seen her since I studied abroad in Tübingen in August. It was great seeing here again and hearing about her semester abroad in Scotland.
on Sunday I worked on a paper for my lit. class and then took the train to Kuchl, a small town nearby. My friend Kerstin lives there so I went to visit her. We ate dinner at her place and then went out for drinks at a biker fest. I tried this trick someone taught me with my corona to get the lime all the way down to the bottom of the bottle, and ended up spraying beer all over myself and some guy behind me. Not exactly my finest hour. LOL. After that she and I went to one of the dorms and played foosball with some of her guy friends. It was really fun :-)
On Monday she and I went for a walk and then she brought me back to the station. On Sunday evening I didn't do much of anything, so by the time Tuesday rolled around (long weekend due to yet another Catholic holiday), I was ready to do something. It was scheduled to rain, but I decided to go to Chiemsee, Germany, anyway. The weather ended up being gorgeous! It took about an hour by train to get to Prien a Chiemsee. Then I took a little local train to the dock, and then took a ferry to one of the little islands: Herrenchiemsee.There I took about a 20 minute walk to a beautiful palace that is located on the island. It is supposed to be a replica of Versailles. Although I have been to Paris 2 times, I have never seen Versailles, so I was happy with the replica :)
Yesterday school started back up again. I had class, then went out for coffee at the Arge with Steffi, my Austrian buddy, and then babysat in the evening. Today I had class, work, appointment regarding my master's exams, and now I am off to the last ladies night at the cineplexx.
TTYL! Love, Molly
