Tomorrow is my first day of my German language course! I'm a tiny bit anxious because I really have no idea what to expect. But I'm also excited. It will be great to have something more to do here, a reason to get out and go into the city and of course, to learn German!! I am really looking forward. Oh, but it means that I have to get up so early! No more rolling out of bed at 9, having a long relaxed breakfast and an even longer lazy morning. I'm a little bit sad about this, but I'll adjust to my new schedule. So, bright and early tomorrow morning, half past 8.......
:)

mein Wochenende
Freitag:
I ate at a Turkish restaurant with Stephan and Sabine. It was the kind of restaurant where you have to take off your shoes and sit on pillows on the floor to eat. I thought this was great, except I don't think it provides the best conditions for degestion. Also while we were eating they had a belly dancer for entertainment. It was great fun. And it was so nice to go out. Sometimes, because I don't have a reason to go out, I forget to even go out during the day!! So this was nice.
Samstag:
We had a relaxing morning. A long breakfast, Frühstück. And in the afternoon I joined Stephan to go to the football stadium. VFB Stuttgart vs. FC Schalke. Wow, the atmosphere in the stadium is amazing, so intense. VFB Stuttgart was placed at 11 I think going into the game and FC Schalke at 2, or something like this. The final score was a disappointing Stuttgart 1, Schalke 2, with a foul called just before Stuttgart's second goal was made. Even so, it was so much fun to have the chance to be in the stadium for a game and it was really an experience. I don't think we have anything like it in the US.
(I thought of you the whole time Nils. Stephan even said that someday you have to come visit and go to a game)
Sonntag:
After another long Frühstück, Sabine and I went to what was basically a garage sale. It was a photographer friend who was selling clothes and shoes and all kinds of things which she had used in photo shoots. Better than your average garage sale. She had all kinds of things and they were in great condition, and still cheap. I found a few things for my room and also a book to start scrapbooking with some of my photos from Germany. I figured I get started now and maybe I will actually finish it one day. One can hope. In the afternoon then we went out, Stephan, Sabine, the girls and myself, just for a nice walk in the city. The weather was good and it was very nice to be out a bit all together.
Another great weekend past!!

Cookies!!!
Ready to bake :)
Hehe, smile Lara.
Being silly here...
Yumm, this is the best part. Lara was totally into the eating part. I have her a ball of dough to roll in her hands and she imediately put it in her mouth! HAHA. She will like baking.
Our lovely cookies. Interesting also to see how she makes the faces. Where the eyes and mouth and nose are placed. Very interesting.
Ready for the oven!!
In they go...
and then we wait.
Oh no!!! I have to get used to a different oven and different temperatures :( Something to learn for next time. (They still dissapeared with the blink of an eye)
