Diskothek

So yesterday was quite the eventful day, if I do say so myself. Breakfast was served as usual, and Sib was gone putting on a wedding event in Ludwigshafen, which is a town about 15 minutes from my house or so. She was there all day, and I was hanging out with Benji while Klaus was here dealing with customers. Around 16:30, Moritz came to pick me up, and we went to Neustadt, the town where him and the others live, about 20 minutes away to his house. I walked down the street to Robert's flat, which took like half a minute, and he greeted from out the window on the third floor, "Diana! What are you dooingg" I went in for a few, and then Robert took me to the mountain top, which has a GREAT view of Neustadt. We took some pictures and explored a bit, but it was getting dark. We'll have to go back so I can get better pictures i the day time, and I think we're actually going next weeked. Then it was time to go back to Moritz's (?) house to go to the supermarket. When we were in the supermarket, Globus, I was reading every single sign I saw to them, which they thought was hilarious. We then went back to the house where Moritz lives (ha) and had dinner with his family, Leoni (sister), Heide (mom), and Peter (dad). Peter works at the winery where I live, Isegrim-Hof, but he's a carpenter and just has his shop up here. This is the one connected to my house. Sib's is called Weingut Theis Heissler, and it's in the town about 5 minutes away. After, we went back to Robert's flat where Mathias, Lucas (Robert's brother), Urs, and Alex came over. Alex is the boyfriend of the girl who was Benji's au pair before me. Also, I heard she's coming back in a month or so if she finds a job in a restaurant, and I'm pretty excited about that. So we hung out there for a bit, and Robert and I exchanged music. The boys wrote things in a notebook and made me say them, and I had no idea what I was saying. They all thought this was super hilarious, and Lucas even recorded some of the things I said! Then we went to the Diskothek, but it was too packed, so we went to the bar/hang out place called Aquarius instead for a bit. After this, we headed back to the Diskothek, and we got in immediately for only one euro. Moritz and I started dancing immediately and didn't stop until we left, around an hour and a half later! I've never danced that much in my life. It was weird, though, because 90% of the music was from America. So then we headed back to Robert's after a long, long night! Today was a restful morning. Moritz came over around 3, and him and I exchanged music. And by exchanged, I mean he took all of mine, and we ran out of time for me to get his! I then went with Sib to her wedding event, which was also on today, and headed straight to the bakery stands. The wedding cakes were pretty good, if I do say so myself. They had a lot of detail, and most of them were spotless. After, we went to her winery (Heissler), which is also a family house of hers, so I explored there. It's incredible. We picked up a fondue pot and some cheese they got on their family trip to Switzerland right before I arrived in Germany, and we went home to make it. I didn't know we were having guests until she told me she invited her two rowing friends! As we were eating dinner, the woman, Andrea, was telling me how she rowed for Germany and raced in America at the world races, which I thought was a pretty big deal. She was also about twice my height and pretty intimidating. The man, Stefan, was a coach. They're setting me up with the club in Ludwigshafen to maybe go out to some practices and erg, row, or cox. We'll see how it goes. Nonetheless, it was a good first weekend in Germany.

Gute Nacht!
