Dessert

Cheese cake in Germany is excellent!

May 26, 2010

Well, I have a sunburned back. We went to the pool again yesterday afternoon and my mom still hasn’t bought sunscreen yet. So, Katie and I both got burned.

I got ahead on math yesterday so I can work on my animal project today. Our internet is so slow, it will take awhile. All the websites come up in German first and then we have to search for English.

We’ve been seeing these fantastic desserts at every bäkerei and restaurant we go to. So finally, we went to a gasthaus here in our village and ordered cheesecake. It was excellent just like I expected. We sat outside about 9 o’clock in the evening and talked. My mom and dad had wine instead of dessert.

We’ve been playing a lot of games and cards after dinner. Sometimes I check the German TV and I see cartoons, some of the same ones that are shown in America, only they are in German. My mom and dad can watch CNN in English.

Last night we ate dinner outside on our patio. Our house is a townhouse connected to other houses. Most of the houses here are like that. It has four stories including the basement, but it’s narrow so each floor only has two or three rooms. The top floor has a balcony.

Our laundry is different. No one has a dryer so my mom has to hang up all the clothes, towels and sheets. When it’s sunny she hangs them outside and they dry fast. When it is rainy, she hangs them in the basement and sometimes the sheets and towels and my big hooded sweatshirts take three days to dry.

I will take photos of our house and the pool and post them later.
