The Weekend

So, this has been quite a fun-filled weekend although it was supposed to be more than what it was, but that's okay.  I have officially been to a movie on AFB.  They one movie a day at one time, very convienent of course!  You also have to stand up for the National anthem and this slide show thing ( I was prepared for that one). I haven't got my ID card to actually go on and off base alone because they messed up my paperwork and all that jazz, but it's okay I'm making friends so that's not such a big thing.  One of my friends I met, rented a car and I drove it to the base, which was quite an experience since I've never driven in Europe before... lol.. good times! On Saturday I went off with my teacher, who is super super super super nice!! She took me to the commissary and Bx.  I got things to make my room more homier and it is!!  I even have a plant now.. her name is Tillie!  We're a perfect match!  Ms. Welke also took me to this store just to look around and I found all sorts of home things.. I love Italian home decor!!!  It's the coolest stuff! I found a blanket that was fairly cheap and it's orange! I also got a mat to go in front of my door that matches... I was super excited about those purchases! I could have bought the whole store, I just loved everything there.  We then went to a winery, and got some wine (my teach can't live w/o her wine of course!)  Funny thing is, the guy who owns the winery is from Kentucky! lol.. who would have guessed??  Oh, the coolest thing I've done this weekend so far is the outting for sushi! When mom and Don come.. this one of the first places I'm taking them(well as of right now)! We went to the next town over to this big mall.. the mall's architecture was pretty amazing in itself but, the sushi place... that was cool.  The sushi comes out on little plates on a conveyer belt that goes past all of the tables.  You just pick what you want as it goes by. It's all you can it for like 17 euro.  It was a lot of fun. What I liked best was that you don't really know what it was cause there are no names, so you just decide if you wanna try it or not.  And there is tons and tons of food. It just goes around and around.  Boy, do you eat a TON of sushi that way.. because of course you want to try EVERYTHING!  I was super stuffed after that one!  

My teacher did take me out to what they call an agriculutral resturaunt, which everything there is organic.  It was a really good place to eat. All of the 'truckers' eat there. I guess that's like delivery guys cause I haven't seen any like 18 wheelers or anything.  I had creps with sausage and mushrooms and a rooster.  It taste like grilled chicken but it was organic!!  I was supposed to go to Venice today and so far I haven't seen my friend who was going to take me.  Maybe we can make this afternoon, hopefully... Anyways, if/when I do make out to Venice, pics will be forthcoming!
