oh man oh man. i have not been doing a good job of documenting my tales. AT ALL! It's a rainy day is Paris and I have few distractions, so i will do my best to give a good update.

Left the States 12 days ago. Cried a bit at having to say goodbye to Benjamin. It is a wierd feeling getting frisked my airport security while tears are rolling down your face! Flew FWA to DTW to ATL to FRA. Malina picked me up from the airport, I was a little worried as I couldnt find her, but alas I did.

We rode the train to Mainz, where we stopped at the bakery to get bread for breakfast. Got to the apartment & met Hannah, Malina's girlfriend, who had a cup of coffee ready for me! I really couldnt ask for better hosts. They showed me around Germany, taught me german phrases, made sure i ate all the authentic and delicious German food..all the time.

Here are some highlights of my time in Germany...
