I am so sorry that I have not been posting everyday. It is just so hard when there is so much to do here. I just can't find the time to blog. So, I will try to start today. Here is a little bit about what I am doing today...

My day is going to be FUN! My friend, Sonya woke me up at 8 a.m. this morning for breakfast. After breakfast, Lyn, Sonya, and I headed out shopping for a little while. We came for lunch at the Mensa (cafeteria), and now I am waiting to go to the Dresden Swinger Museum. I tried several different German chocolates today! They are delicious!!! I am planning on smuggling some in my suitcase, hoping that they don't melt :) Our evening is free tonight and a few of us are talking about renting a bicycle and riding it to a local park. I am looking forward to doing something adventurous! Hopefully I will find it.

More to come soon....

DRESDEN

Dresden is a beautiful city! There is so much to do here. I have now been to my 1st and 2nd operas, eaten Turkish food, ridden a street car-what feels like 1,000 times (tram) which is a major way of transportation here, learned to live without Air Conditioning, walked approximately 10,000 steps every day, tried several other German foods, learned a few German words, made some new friends, witnessed first hand the Germans win a football game during the world cup, and had McDonalds (The BEST I'VE EVER HAD)! Life is good :)

I will write more tomorrow! Its almost 1 a.m. and I need some sleep!

Guten Nacht
