caroline says (II)

Friday night: party at the Dorf that degenerated into the largest group of drunk Americans I've ever been a part of in my life

Saturday: Spent a cumulative 8 hours on a train to see Hamburg. You can tell that its the richest Bundesland (state) in Germany, but my god if I don't hate it just a little for having wasted two hours of my life. We wandered the city looking for the Schanzenviertel because Jacky and I wanted to find thrift shops. All we ended up finding was that I get surprisingly cranky in situations that mix fatigue, exhaustion and frustration.

Sunday: EAP trip to Kassel. Instead of including a beautiful landscape picture of Kassel you get this stupid picture of me in front of a political poster in Hamburg (from the previous day). Jacky and I had to justify having spent two hours walking in a circle without having found a single thing, so we stopped and took a bunch of stupid pictures of one another. (If you are interested, it was fitting that we took pictures of the all the political posters, because yesterday was an election day. I think they still haven't figured out if its Schroeder for the SPD for Merkel for the CDU.)

This weekend I took 258 pictures. Yesterday in Kassel I fell asleep on a lawn, amongst hundreds of strangers in broad daylight, sitting rightside up. This is the last week of ILP and on Saturday I am leaving the country. I've never had more to say and fewer ways to get it all out.
