Anna!!

So when I got off the Train from Munich in Trier cousin Anna had already been here for a couple hours! Audrey met her at the bus stop and showed her around town until I got there! It was so good to see her again and have her some down! Besides seeing her in Paris a couple months ago, it has probably been 5 or so years since we have seen each other last! So it was really nice to catch up and chat!

We went with Cordy to the grocery store and helped her pick up some groceries for dinner. She planned on making us all a traditional Bavarian dinner! And it was perfect timing with Anna being there too!

We talked and helped Cordy make dinner. She made a Port Roast flavored with vegetables, brown gravy, green beans, Blue sauerkraut, and Potato and Bread balls! Our oven stopped working right at the end so poor Cordy was so frustrated that the Gravy and the balls weren’t done correctly but everything was SOOOOOO good!!! We ate soo much, it was all soooo good!!!!!

Us Girls had a huge German Language test in a few days that we were suppost to be studying for but none of us even wanted too. But we all sat around and talked with Anna that first night and pretended to try and study! It didn’t really work! But we had a lot of fun!

We ended up Taking Anna to our favorite local hang out and had let her try our favorite local drink. Apple wine! She really liked it but we sat here for a long time just talking and hanging out.

The next morning we got up and took her to Karl-Marx’s house. I had now idea who this guy even was, except he was into politics, and that is an area I HATE! But anyway we went to the house that is now a museum and we went inside and looked around, I actually learned a lot about the dude! And afterword’s Anna explained a lot about him and his ideas! That is her area of interest!

We decided we wanted to walk up to the statue of Mary that is on the hill that overlooks the entire town or Trier, easily the highest point in this area. We knew it was going to be a long and hard walk, but that was an understatement! It was so steep and tiring. I didn’t bring a water bottle with me and I felt like I was going to die!

But the View from the top was TOTALLY worth it. So Mom and Dad beware, we are GOING to take that hike when you are here, it was an amazing view from the top!!!!The pictures will prove it for sure! J

We came down from there and got some ice cream before heading back home and relaxing after that hike. We ended up going out to eat at our local favorite pasta place and setting around for a while!

That night we really spent some time studying, and even more talking J

The next day Anna and I went and got some Kebaps before she left on the train at 1! It was so good to see her and I had a great time!!!

I did take my German test that night……. L you’ll hear about that in my next blog!
