a visit on a whim....

June 9, 2009

Today was my first day off this week and I really needed it. I just slept a little(until about 9) and then took my time really getting ready for the day. I decided I'd head in to Frieburg, because I really did not want to stay at home all day...
I was pretty depressed today, and that's really not so great. :( All I could thing was, "I really want to go home!!" I walked around Freiburg for a total of about 10 minutes before I decided that is NOT what I wanted to do today, or needed to do. I needed SOMETHING to make me happy today, and buying something is not what I needed(I mean, especially ok if I come home I don't need to buy a ton of things and not have room for it! but of course, I don't know yet if i"m coming home) that, and every time I walk around freiburg alone I buy food-a bretzel here, a ice cream there-k not good!

So, I pulled out my cell phone, sent a few texts, waited for a reply and climbed on the train(of course I bought a super great ticket for 19 euro first!)
After about 3.5 hours of riding the train I ended in Neckarsulm to a super happy sight of Heike, Julia, and Lisi all waiting for me! :) I climbed on the back of Lisi's scooter, and we took off(heike was on Julia's scooter!) one turn down a certain road and I knew exactly where we were going---to Bob's!!!
I just hung out in Neckarsulm with my girls for about 3 hours and then Lisi and Lonne took Heike and I back to the train station on their scooters(Julia had to go home lol so Lonne did the honors on her brand new scooter!)

After a REALLY long train ride and the super awkwardness of this creepy old guy sitting across from me(like, there's two benches facing each other and he sat facing me) even though there were about 4 benches free in my part of the train--so I got up and moved at one stop, I finally made it back to Heitersheim at MIDNIGHT! I grabbed my bike and headed home and realized, I really can not ride my bike well when I'm tired my muscles get so tired really fast!!

So, about 8 hours train ride thinking a lot, and 3 hours visiting with my girls in Neckarsulm it was a pretty good day!! I was pretty hyper on the trip home, and I am very glad to report that Lonne had the great Idea of coming to Frieburg and going partying with me to help me make friends(I mean, can you really make friends alone and not able to speak german that great?!?!)
now..... if only I had a book to read or something.....

Pictures: Either Julia or Lisi(whoever had my camera at this point) got a super great picture of Heike and I talking... LOL
****Subway tastes pretty good at 10:00 at night when you realize you haven't eaten anything all day and you're waiting for 30 minutes in the train station....
******Julia, Bob, and Lisi with the waterpipe--and if you look carefully Lonne is reflected in the mirror!! :) I love these girls, with or without the water pipe!!!
