School, Food, and Dachau

Hi!
So I attended Patch High School with Bridget. It was a pretty normal School. Gym, Cafeteria, Math Class, etc. After School I came home and took a nap. Then the Lloyds took us to a german restuarant. I had been wondering what German food tasted like. I know what Chinese food is and what English food is and what Mexican food is, but I didn't know what German food was. There is a lot of fried meat or sausage. They eat quite a bit of bread with different meats and cheeses. I had pork chops with Fried potatoes, bread, and greenbeans. I even tried some lard (before I knew what it was haha.)

Yesterday I went on a run around the base while mom and dad went to the gym. We came home, ate breakfast and set out again. Mom, Dad and I drove down to Munich. On our way we stopped at a cute little bakery. We got a chocolate crossant, a peach/ cheese pastry, and a whole wheat pretzel stick. I would just like to say that I LOVE EUROPE!!!! or at least the food here. :) We also got strawberries from a little road side farm stand.

We spent the majority of the day at Dachau, a concentration camp memorial. I am very glad I went, but would never want to go back. It was good to learn all about what happened, but at the same time it was very difficult. I think though, that it is good that the Germans are letting the world learn from the past, rather than trying to hide it.

We got home around 7 and had a barbeque with the Lloyds and their neighbors. It was delicious. Then we came home and went to bed, our bodies time system is still all wacky.
Bye for now.

  2. I loved Europe too! Cassie and I are planning our own *free* trip to Europe.... the airlines, hotels, and restaurants don't know it yet though. ;P Who wouldn't want to give away free airfare, rooms, and food? ;D
