loracarol | Hello from Hamburg!

Hello from Hamburg everybody!

Sorry that I didn't update on Friday! Believe it or not, I was still on the plane...

Thursday/Friday: No- really. What happened was that we went from our fair city to San Francisco, then from there we had a five hour delay. Then we took an nine (or so) hour flight to London. We got there around four A.M. O.T. (Our time) and noon-ish London time. Then we took a one and a half hour flight (ish) to Hamburg, where I immidiatly went to bed, as time-zone changes make one very very tired.

Saturday: I slept in until about nine. the I got ready to go to a friends of my Grandmother's, Frau Timmerman, only she told me that I couldn't call her that, so now I have to call her Hani. She took us to a traditional breakfast at her place, of bread (still warm!) meats, cheeses, and really good milk. We ate, and talked- I think that I like German breakfasts, the people talk to each other! The only problem was that some of the time all the adults spoke in German- which I don't really understand. Because one of the teachers has dibs on the terms "Happy Fuzzy Bunny Time" from now on, German breakfasts are "Happy Fuzzy Kitty Time." Then we went to the market where they don't have escalators- I mean, it's like that, but it's not steps, and you can take your cart right up it! I'll post a picture sometime. Hani then bought me Marzipan potatoes. :-) I haven't tried them yet.

My dad and I went for a walk... Had some (really good) icecream, and saw this nice little internet cafe, from which I post now, but, alas, parting is such a sweet sorrow, so farewell until I type more tomorrow,
