Above is this like moving wall, and at random times it rotates (the circled wall part) moves and sings and stuff. I didnt get to see it, becausei dont think it goes on saturdays, but it was really cool architecture.
Bremen is like a city state, like Hamburg and Berlin. Its the smallest of the three, But it is still really big. Here I am with the Famous Bremen Musicians. If you rub the donkey's hoofs its good luck... its like an old fairy tale!! :) Below is the Rathaus for Bremen.
SO update on this week: I started taking workout classes, it is really great because they are all in german (of course) and i have not a clue whats going on, i just follow the person in front of me. haha but i think this one instructor was crazy and she kept yelling at me, but i did not have a clue. oh well.classes: still going well, i dropped my anthropology class and now full fledged in my govt and politics class.. in three weeks i have to do a big presentation on German Chancellors and Presidents, I have started working on it now so i am not bogged down at the last minute. I also have to write a 15 page paper with that. blah. haha but thats not due until the end, but I want to get a start on it
my german: oh gosh, i sound awful when i try and read, but i will work with my flatmates and my language partner in reading alloud because blah-- and my french sticks in there and i get all mixed up. But my grades are really good, so i am happy. slowly it will come, i mean i have only been here for three week, WHAT! three weeks already?? time is flying by!!!
My travels are going to come up really fast!! Be excited to see pictures and stories from
Prague, Dusseldorf (going with my flatmates for a karnival!), Berlin (WITH ED!!!), Istanbul, and Vienna and Bavaria (for easter with my flatmate and her family!!) ahh i am excited and the time will really fly by!!
Today, was gorgeous when i returned to Lueneburg. It was chilly but sunny, and in germany, you have to take advantage of that sun, because you never know when you will see it again. So i took a walk by myself and grabbed a book and read by the river until the sun set. It was gorgeous just to sit, and be, and to relax and enjoy God's gorgeous land.
I am excited to see what God has planned for me this semester. I have no idea what I am doing here, but I am learning to lean on him. there is no one else to lean on while I am so far away from everyone I love. I am so thankfully for all the support that I have gotten from my family, grandparents and friends. It's really nice to receive comments, prayers, love, money, emails and letters.
I cant wait to see what this week brings...
German 1 ends this week so i have a big final and then a quiet weekend with this project! :)

Hey! Glad to hear everything is going good… I enjoyed the pics- especially the moving wall thing- interesting…
I liked the little story about workout class- I probably would cry if someone was yelling at me in a different language! Ha

Im excited for all your traveling and cant believe you have been there for three weeks… although it kinda seems like its been longer.
Wow- and I love when you say being there is helping you to learn to lean on God and excited for his plans- that’s awesome!
