Winter holidays :D

Its been a while since I last posted... just been lazy haha The winter holidays were pretty amazing! I celebrated Christmas with my first host family and had alot of fun with them. We had a amazing xmas dinner and exchanged presents and enjoyed each others company. On the 27th of December i changed host families. The 28th was my Birthday and i Spent that with my new host family, but the next day we were going to Switzerland so i unpacked from the move of the host families and then started packing for the ski trip to Switzerland. I finished off my birthday with a nice dinner in a Italian restaurant. Driving to Switzerland was about a 6.5 hour drive from Frankfurt and it was soo beautiful its hard to describe! The place we were going to was a very small mountain village with about 300 people living there, it was situated high up in the mountains and had a very nice ski hill in the town. Driving from the bottom of the mountain to the town was about 30 min in the car and honestly one of the scariest car rides i have ever been in. The roads were soo small and were big enough for about a car and a half and to one side of the road there was rock and the other a cliff straight down. And on top of that there was busses and trucks driving up the mountains and the locals drive kinda crazy cause they are used to it. I kinda had to just listen to my music and hope we didnt die on the drive there. Once we arrived we settled into the apartment and chilled for the first night. The next day we hit the ski hill and had some fun. The alps are unbelievably beautiful!
We were there for 2 weeks skiing and one day we even went to France and skied there for a day and that was pretty awesome! overall it was a great winter vacation! Now im back into a normal school plan and next week i will do a German language test Ill try to post again in a week or two cause my grandma is getting irritated with me cause i never post anymore haha
