little over one week now :D
Well I have been in Germany a little over one week now and it has been a extremly busy week!
I started off by living with my counsellor to get to know him and his family for the first few days and they showed me around the town and took me into frankfurt for lunch and we went shopping. I also had the chance to see my school that I will be attending and it is very old compaired to the school im used to in Canada.
On wednesday I moved into my first host family and unpacked my things into my new room and everything is just awesome! My host brother David took me to the local swimming pool which was sweet cause they have these huge diving boards which I did a back flip off of once than was to nervous to do it again haha.
This past weekend my host family took me to Fraenkischen Schweiz which is a old town about 4 hours away and we met up with all of the uncles and aunts and cousins of my host brother and we went camping there. During the day while camping we played soccer, which I soon realized that I sucked at playing soccer compaired to pretty much everyone there hahaha but I still participated. We also went on a hike that was about 6-10 km long where we went through a few villages and such as we were walking and then we stopped for lunch at a local restaurant/pub and had some good food! All the young peoples stayed in the village as the oldies walked back to the car to drive and pick us up, so while they were walking back we chilled on a hillside in the sun then went to a cafe for coffee. That night we went to a different village for supper at the local restaurant/pub and I tried a new German dish which was tasty!
Overall it was a very fun weekend and the whole family was very nice and welcoming.
Tomorrow im off to school (I didnt go today because it was to busy and the school wasnt ready for me yet haha) and im pretty excited.
