First off, here are some pictures of the beatiful countryside I have been seeing on my daily cycling training rides!
The weather is perfect for riding, its in the 60's in the mornings and the sun shines all day!
We had a talent shoow two nights ago, naturally I did some drumming. All I had was a practice pad stacked on two chairs, but it was still very cool and fun. There were a bunch of other really cool acts; like some rapping, some acrobatics, and some other cool stuff!
And last night, we had an indoor football (soccer for the americans :)) tournament in the Hedersleben sporthalle. Basically an indoor basketball, handball, and soccer court. It was a blast! We had 3 american teams, and there were 3 german teams. The americans fielded two boys teams, and an all girls team; while the germans had a team of firemen, kids, and local teenagers. Pretty intense playing! My team got 3rd, and the german teenagers won the tourney! Much fun was had by all! Pictured is me playing goalie, during our final game, lots o fun.
Basically, everything here is amazing. I'm missing people at home a little bit, but Im having a lot of fun here. My german is coming super fast, I can understand all of the spoken german, and my writing and speaking are coming along fast.
Well thats all Ive got for today, hope to hear from everyone soon!
auf Wiedersehen!
