Two weeks down

I promise I'm not dead.

I'll make a new blog post soon!

Trip to the Feurwehr

Last Friday (August 30) a small group of people got to go to the fire brigade in a nearby town called Gatersleben. It was a really great experience and I've actually never been to a fire station in America so this was a first for me. We got to use the really powerful hoses and the tools they use to break cars apart. It was pretty legit. I volunteered to wear the firefighter outfit but I was way too short and weak for it! Here are some pictures. (:

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before but internet at the monastery is very limited. There's no more wi-fi and everyone has to share one ethernet cable so I think I'll hold off writing about the whole Hedersleben experience until I get to my host family...which is in three days! I'm really excited!!
