Last weekend Grace and Katie decided to pay us a visit. We have a really great balance of travel, fun with new friends in Darmstadt and visits from old friends also living in Europe going on here. The best of everything. Anyway, It was really wonderful to see Grace and Katie and catch up on life's adventures of the moment. I'm so glad we've all been able to keep in touch so much. VC08 makes me smile.
Saturday they joined our Erasmus group for a trip to Marburg. Marburg is what you might expect a small German town to be. Great German-esque architecture and a castle (us Americans love a great castle). The view from the castle of the city was quite nice.
Later that night, my flat mates and the 3 flats next door had their huge annual party. This year it was super hero theme. We went all out. Our flat was transformed into the dance flat. They took all the furniture out and taped the fridge and cupboards shut. Even parties are well designed ;). My favorite costumes of the night include my roommates dressed as Buttman and Duffman, but number one definitely had to be the guy dressed as Bedman. He was just so cuddly. The party was still going strong past 6 am when somehow I managed to go to bed. Good Times! My flatmates are great.
Sunday morning we showed Katie and Grace around Darmstadt a little, got some Doner Kababs (love these, they're everywhere), drank tea and conversed for hours. Amanda and I hope to get down to Zurich where Katie is interning for Designalltag soon. She promised cheese, chocolate and mountains, so I can't really resist.
So Amanda told me today that we are now at the half way point of our time here. Now that school has begun, I'm starting to get into a schedule and our calendar is filling up with events, I'm afraid time will only fly quicker from here. Not a day goes by with out the thoughts of how much I wish I could stay longer, and how much I will miss it here. It's a reminder to enjoy and live each day here to the fullest.
PS. It suddenly got freezing here! And Sarah Mac told me today she went for a long walk on the beach in Rio.
