Everyone has probably noticed my spelling errors, that is because the keyboards in germany are very unfamiliar to me. I have learned so much in the days I have been here, Jona always wants to play monopoly, and trionimoes. The wheather in germany is great; to people in germany they do not enjoy the rain, but for a nebraskan the rain is a wonderful gift. The pool here is very different than the one back home. Here peoples bodies are viewed very differently. They are seen as beautiful no matter what they look like, so you see alot of men in speedoes, and women without tops. It will take awhile to get used to seeing that, but its another thing that makes germnay so unlike where I live. I met the family grandma who they call O-ma. She does not speak any english but is always talking to me. Every morning I wake up and go downstairs to the kitchen. Everyone greets me and says " Guten tag, or Guten Morgen", and " Du schlofen gut" meaning did i sleep well. Although I cannot spell german yet I can now pronounce the words. The water here is very different from ours as well, it is all carbonated. Its funny because who ever opens the water it will go every where, and everyone will laugh and look at me and say " das ist deutschland wasser" meaning that is german water. I have really over used words such as nein, danke, danke gut, nein danke, guten tag, morgen, and chao; because they are the only words that are stuck into my head. I actually now have problems saying hello and goodbye and no to my family because my mind wants to use those words instead.
For breakfast I have brochen with nutelle, which is so so good. The bread here is amazing, I also love the candy called haribo. I have tried alot of foods and loved them all. Well I must go so Guten Tag to another day, and Chao to all of you.

This all sounds so familiar to when we lived there! Thanks for including all of the details; it really helps us to picture what is going on. I remember the Haribo chocolate too....mmmmm...and nutella with brochen is the best!
It's fun to read your blog. I remember everything you mention. I love eis and miss brochen too. I wish we had pools like Germany has here, except for the topless part! I think your coming along very well in speaking German. Pretty soon you'll be thinking in German too. We miss you, think of us as your walking on the walk paths and looking at all the beautiful flowers!
Hi Hannah!! I just read your newest entry today!! I remember the food and swimming pools in Germany too. Holly and Chad used to love brochen mit nutella!! Have you had the eis yet? I'm so glad you are getting more fluent in German. I love your writing style Hannah! Hope you are taking lots of pictures to share with us when you get back! - Dad, Sheri, & the brothers
Hi Hannah,
It's Holly's friend, Shannon. I've enjoyed reading about your experiences so far. Thanks for the reminder about brochen. Good stuff. It makes my mouth water.
Hannah~look for your Fed Ex package on Thursday more information about it in your email
Bring home nutella...and brochen
It's kind of weird to think that you're sleeping right now which is tomorrow for you and I'm not even off work yet.
Hi Hannah!! ;-) The food in Germany sounds so yummy, especially the chocolate!! Your dad tells me that the pools are really gorgeous over there, I think the topless part though sounds really gross!!! I bet you are glad you took a gross of razors over there too!! lol I'm glad you are learning more German as well, it's a lot easier to learn when you are actually using the language on a daily basis too!! You are in my daily thoughts and prayers. Hugs & Love! Sheri
Hi Hannah,
I can't imagine even walking to the edge of a diving board 50 feet in the air! I always knew you were daring, but...that is amazing. I am really enjoying reading about all your adventures in Germany. It was always a dream of mine to go there some day. I guess I get to go through your eyes. SOOOOO Please eat LOTS of chocolate for me! Love Ya Beverly
