Week 7 (Mar 2-6)

The weather on Sunday made me laugh in the face of the weather on Saturday.
It was absolutely beautiful. I spent most of the day outside exploring Horb. Kelsey joined me in the afternoon, and we decided that for as small as Horb is, it's really quite beautiful. We climbed up to the church that sits atop of Horb, and looked down on the city by the river. 

Monday was a little bit chillier, and the week continued to get colder and more winter-like. There's been a living situation change here at the Goldener-Adler Hotel. I have swapped Renato and Sebastian from Brazil and Switzerland respectively, with Paulina from mexico. I couldn't be happier. Paulina is polite, and respectful and quiet. The boys... were not. I've been helping Paulina get the hang of things here, and have been acting as a translator. She has only taken four months of German, but has pretty good German in spite of that. She has a boyfriend who is from Heilbronn, Germany, that she met while he was working at a Volkswagen plant in Mexico. 

School was school. Our topic right now is traveling. The different means, destinations, statistics etc. On Thursday, Joe did his referat (which is sort of like a small oral presentation over a topic of our choosing. I did mine on knitting a few weeks ago) on the guitar. He borrowed an electric guitar and played for us. He explained different techniques etc.
Basically though, we managed to convince the other classes that we really don't learn anything, we just watch movies and have live music all the time. They're jealous.

Then, during the week, I got the best news ever. Our excursion this weekend.

THE ZOO!!!!!!!!!!
