Last week I got an e-mail. This e-mail wasn't just any email though, it was an invitation to spend the weekend with my wonderful friend Miri who was in the U.S. last year. It was so great to see her again!!! I must admit, at first it was very strange to hear her speaking German but it didn't take me long to get used to it....and although my German in constantly improving, it still isn't all that great so for the majority of our conversations, English was the spoken language and German was saved for small talk:-)
As if seeing Miri wasn't enough, last weekend her town hosted an annual market. "Market" I believe that's German for way too much food, way too many calories, and way too much fun. I tried a handful of tradition German treat including dried mango...okay, so maybe not all of it was German, but all of it was yummy!
After an afternoon at the market, we spent the evening playing games at Miri's house with several of her friends. After we'd played a few games, Miri and I decided to introduce an American game to her friends--and pulled out the SPOONS! It was obvious the majority of the group was new to the game as we went the entire night without even the smallest battle scar. However, I'm pretty sure they liked it and by the time we called it a night, it had been a very fun evening.
I'm so lucky to have Miri only 30 minutes away and I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of each other in the coming months.
