Mein Oma hat Geburtstag!

Today I woke up at 9 o clock in the morning to get ready to go to my Gastoma's birthday party extravaganza! We will leave at 10 o clock and not return until 19 Uhr. So I got up fast, took a shower, and got my clothes on! We had a breakfast of Brot mit Schinken (A german breakfast) and headed out the door and into the cramped car where we fit 6 people. I was so extremely tired from the night before that I fell asleep almost immediately at the beginning of the hour and a half drive to Commonswerth, where my Gastoma lives. After drooling on Christine's (youngest host sister) shoulder, I woke up to a beautiful little house in the middle of corn and grass. I open the door and am greeted to the wonderful Elizabeth, in the middle of her house party (really european like), who has just turned 86 years of age. I mumbled something in german to everyone so it sounded like I knew what I said, and sat down in the table next to Felix. Poor guy was my translator the entire time. It was a wonderful meal, and I got to meet everyone in the family. I feel like I am writing a novel with all of these things because they all feel like such a dream happening.. After Nachmichtagessen, my host parents took Felix, Christine and I to the Commonswerth Schloss. It was very nice seeing a german castle, and the history of these villages are just so amazing and interesting.. I love this all so very much. After that, we took a drive back home, and we all slept on the ride back home, it was awesome. After we got home, I changed and played Fußball with Felix and Christine.. It was amazing..



Yours in misunderstood German,

Jakub
