So on Friday I spent most of my time chillen (official german verb, by the way) with Marcus. First, I navigated my way to his house on foot (zu Fuß). I took one wrong turn and that made the trip a lot colder than it should have been. Anyways, he gave me a nice tour of his house and then we headed of to the Aasee. After walking across that frozen lake, we made our way to der Schloss (palace) and had a peek inside....its really not that interesting because it is now part of the university. So just boring classrooms and offices.
However, the outside is rather pretty. :-)
Somehow we made it make to Marcus' house after this for lunch. Some kind of soup with sausage. It was pretty good. And I had the great pleasure of consuming my first bar of full milk chocolate. Sooooo delicious. The best milk chocolate I have ever had.
Later that evening, I went with Marcus and his family to a play called "Finnland". I was iffy about it at first, but as the play got rolling it got pretty good....well as good as something can be when you can't understand what is going on. So by that I mean that the stage was really, really cool. I will let Marcus talk more on this, since he seemed to understand more than I did.
Today, Saturday, Nick, Phil and I met up at the Aasee again to go skating. Turns out I was the only one to skate while the other two walked. We probably went a distance of half a mile...and I did fall until the very end!
Okay, not of us skating, but you can see skating happening.
We then decided to walk to a large cemetery. There were some very neat headstones there, but it did feel kinda awkward randomly walking around a cemetery. At that point though, we were all freezing, so we headed home. And that is all for the day. Jetzt muss ich meine Hausaufgaben machen.
Bis bald,
Jake
I'm glad you liked the stage. :)
