On Friday, many of the shops were closed so I stayed inside to do some homework. I later went for a run that afternoon with Vince and we found some nifty trails in the woods. The trail led us to the beach, which was really fantastic to see. Running back to the hotel was a bad thing, the trail we took was all downhill so it was all uphill going back. I think I messed up my shins from lack of stretching properly... Oh wells.
Easter Saturday started off with more homework, but at night I discovered Germans do something a little interesting. They like to burn their christmas trees by the rivers and beach and drink by these fires. I headed down to the beach with Becky, and Michelle. We missed the big fire that they started, but according to Vince they had an enormous tree with a dummy hanging on it. HAHA. We saw the what was remaining of the ex-tree. Also, on the way down, we passed a house that was throwing a costume party.

On Easter Sunday, Vince, Jake, Nikki, and I went to the Fischemarket. We left our hotel at 5:30 am, CRAZYYY. It was a really big flea market that sold a lot of flowers, food, clothing, shot glasses, beersteins, and other random nick nacks. There were a few men selling banana's and I don't know what he said in German, but he was screaming and throwing banana's at people. I guess this was his way of advertising. Vince, Nikki, and Jake got their souveniors and I got mine. We eventually split up because they were going to go to mass, and I went to go hang out with drunken Germans at 7 in the morning. The most entertaining thing about this was the band playing during the time. I think they were called Thorpids? But the lead singer was an old man, about in his late 50's early 60's and he started to scream and rip his shirt off and the crowd went crazy and started to jump around. I sat in the distance and watched these people have their fun.

Later that day, back to the hotel to do work T_T
Two days from now, I'll be back in good ol Ohio...
I can't believe it!
