Catherine's Second Report

October 7, 2005

Hello Guys!

I'm sooooo sorry for not writting in a long time!!

okay well let me tell you that i have been able to travel a little.. first i went to Soltau, then to Berlin and finally to Lüneburg... I had much fun but soooooooooooooo many things have happened with me and the trains.. from buying the wrong ticket to sleeping and missing my stop.. now all the exchange students tease me that i am  a wanted person and that one should not let catherine buy the group tickets or else she will buy for herself and  blah blah blah... and well  but i am very sad because i found out that in my florida high school a teen died  ( younger brother of wagner) was hit by  lighting and well it is very depressing since i knew the older brother.... Wagner and well  i think it is a type of situation that it makes all of us think again how much we are blessed to be safe in this world... lighting can hit anyone and anywhere..... and I thank God each day for giving me life and giving me health and strength for each day..... but other than that terrible tragedy , i have had some home-sickness . many culture schocks  and bad momets with the trains , everything had been okay. the other day  i went to Porta Westfalica, a city near my town like 15 minutes away. we went in a very big store that is called Porta... (a little bit obvious..) but any way that store has a restaurant inside and well we went there to have lunch and  it is like to say a city furniture here..on our way out we passed through the sections of bed sheets and pillows and guess what i saw.......... pillows of the world cup!!! jeje-- wella t least it was very interesting for me.. so I bought 3 pillows of the world cup.. i of each design.. they have from bedsheets to towels  of the world  cup. I don't think i will be goignt o the world cup since it is too expensive and it is hard to buy a ticket. But hopefully i will be able to go on the euro tour.. and well last friday i went to my friends 18th birthday party.. here is in a german party:

 1. no dancing.. seriously  they don't dance !!

2. listen to rock,pop,some british bands and german bands and they listen to Prince( i don't know who he is but they like him alot!!)

3.lots of cakes

4.lots of beer( for some reason they drink like 4 beers and still are not drunk!!?? i don't know how they do it..)

5. Talking is very ESSENTIAL!!!

6.last but not least stay waken up unitl 3 or 4in the morning..

and yeap that how it was...  i talked with 2 girls and 2 guys the whole night cause there was nothing else to do other than talk... and well that is basically it for now..

bye!!!

sincerely,

catherine
