Festival weekend

This weekend my host family was leaving to go see their old friends from another town. They decided not to take me, which was fine with me because I would feel very lost. They asked margy´s host family if i could stay the weekend with her, and tehy agreeded to it. I was really happy because she is one of my best friends here. On friday she took me through her town, and we went into the store to get some things to eat.... that is when i saw it.... the love of my life in america just got here in germany ;D;D Dr. Pepper. I could of screamed with happieness if it wasnt for all the dr. pepper margy and I staked up on. Now I know for alot of you pop does not seem like something to get excited about, but when you have been two months with just milk and mineral water, than tell me pop is not exciteing.

So we got some junk food and brought it to her house. My parents had sent me a large package and put movies in there for me to watch, so i brought them over to her house. We stayed up really late, and had the funnest time speaking english because although you would think, we dont get to speak alot here. On saturday margy had a tennis club party, and they invited me along. Now my older sisters are pretty much tennis champions but I have no hand and eye cordination for that, yet I was at a huge tennis party. The people were suprisingly very very nice, and they all said I should join with them and play tennis... to tell you the truth I am actually considering it. Finally the party was over and margy and I went back to her house and slept.

Finally on sunday, we decided to go to a festival in Bonn. Now her host mom told us how to get there, but she only explained it in german, not english. So when we got off the train at bonn, we were compleltly lost. We got on a bus, not knowing if it was the right one, margy just pointed out the most people were getting on that one.. so we did too. We took the bus untill nothing was familier, and than got off. We were so completly lost. We than walked back towards teh derection the bus came from. We passed some bus stops because they were shady, and we were a little bit afraid to go near them. Finally we found a decent one, and waited for another bus. We than hopped on that bus and it took us back to the train. We were still lost, so we did not get off at the train stop and just waited for the bus to leave again. The bus than took us over the Rhein River, and both margy and I have never been on the other side of the river. We were on the bus for what seemed forever. Margy had given up, and wanted to get off at the next stop, but I was tired and just wanted to nap.. so I told her to just wait. We were on the bus for a very long time, and than we came to a parking place full of cars. I told margy we should get off and follow those people. So we did, and sure enough we had found the festival. The funny thing about it was that my host parents had told me it was a small one but this festival put my towns to shame. There were rollercoasters, and rides, and american food, they had games, and auctions, they had just about everything. Margy and I were so happy to have found it, and even went on a ride. There were so many people that you had to wait about 15 minutes to get anywhere though. We did not get to stay very long at the festival because we set out to the festival at 3 and did not get there until 5 or 6 and had to leave by 7 to get back home by 8. We of course were very late getting out of there because the amount of people that were in one place. I cant wait till this weekend though, because my host parents told me that there is a bigger festival this weekend, and if they think that, that one was small, I can only imagine how huge its going to be this weekend. Although I did not get to do much this weekend, I think it was the funnest I have had yet because I got to spend time with a friend, and we had so much fun doing the simplest things. I have had a very festival weekend.
