Visiting Sha in Butzbach!

November 14th-16th

Ciao!
I’m most definitely getting behind on my blogging and I think they’ve been way too long anyway hahha. So here’s a sum up of Germany and then Prague :)

So Germany was AMAZING. It was so so great seeing Sha Sha and getting to meet her host family (they’re adorable). Her mom is like the sweetest thing ever and was constantly feeding us and her host sister is like the most lovable girl I’ve ever met (Shannon and I decided that Karen, her host sister, has to marry Trevor haha). The first night we got back to their house around 10 and Barbara, Sha’s host mom, was pulling all of this food out for me to eat. It was very good…first she gave me a giant bowl of fruit salad and tnen rolls with this mango cream spread (Shannon’s new favorite) and then all of us had tea and spice cake hahah. Needless to say I was stuffed! That night the girls and I sat down in the basement and caught up on life haha. I tried coca-cola beer for the first time…the coke part was good…the beer part not so much.

The next morning we had breakfast and then the girls showed me around Butzbach. It is such a cute German town…..Sha and I think it looks like a little downtown Eagle, only German haha. The buildings were so old and cute and there were people selling brauts and such in the street. After that we went to Frankfurt and walked around/shopped for a few hours. We had lunch at a quaint restaurant in one of the main squares. I had goulash hahah typical German (and it was delish!) There was a wedding going on in the square while we were there and it was so cute! We were wondering what was going on and Karen told us that at weddings in Germany the newly married couple has to cut out one side of a heart from a big sheet that has a heart drawn on it, and basically whoever cuts their side out faster is the leader/head of the relationship haha. Fun Tradition! And it was really neat to see.

That night Sha and I made German Cheesecake! Since we were little we’ve always baked together and our favorite was always German Cheesecake…so this was necessary haha. It turned out really well even though we substituted a few ingredients. And we spend the rest of that night watching a German movie called the no eared bunny (they put English subtitles on for me haha). Oh and before that we went to a birthday party of one of Shannon and Karen’s friends. We didn’t stay for very long because we wanted to bake but it was neat going and seeing some people Sha’s been going to school with. Oh yeah and she’s completely fluent in German! Not even kidding we’d be in the car and suddenly she’d start talking to Barbara and she speaks at like 100 miles a minute…I was impressed! And the next morning Barbara packed me a lunch, seriously she’s adorable, and took me to the train station very very early in the morning. The trip was short but so great and definitely one of my favorites (mainly because I was visiting Sha and it was more relaxing and less touristy)!

Tshooch (that’s goodbye in German…it’s pronounced chews which took me awhile haha)
