Deutschland

I know it has been a long time since my last post and I'm sure all of my loyal fans out there have been flipping franticlly through the archives in hopes of divining the hour of my return. Well fear no more I have returned from my sojourn to Germany and I have many a tale to tell. Many of which I am too lazy to write so when I get the urge you will see the results later. However for the time being I will give you an overview of my four week stay in the land of Beer.Or Deutschland which roughly translated means kick-ass beer (lol).
I spent four weeks in a town north of Frankfurt called Stockhausen. I attended the Goethe Schule in Wetzlar as well as the extracurriculars at the Poco. Also on the this trip I visted many a castle and old towns includeing Weilburg,Braunfels, Wetzlar,Frankfurt,Heidelburg,the Rhein area, and some other places whos names elude me. I'm sure you'll see my exchange student comment and maybe if you send him money he'll tell you all the secrets of the unknown towns of Germany. I also visited the Speyer Auto and Technik Museum and saw an entire Ferrari collection as well as a ton of other cars. I will post a gallery here or on my Picasa albums.
The highlight of the trip was found quite a ways east in the area of Leipzig called With Full Force. This is a metal festival of which I have written extensively but will post later because it is currently sitting in a notebook and not on my computer. Needless to say this was a three day orgy of metal and alcohol capped by an exquisitly rainy and slightly hung over days worth of travel home.
In upcomomg posts will include the wonder that is my exchange partners mother, With Full Force of course, the Auto and technik museum and the things I wrote while I was over there, as well as my encounter with an American Soldier. So don't be a stranger be sure to comment and hey this n00b finally got a facebook so look him up under the nam. This is a fake name I use so as not reveal my true identity. O yes there will also be a lengthy discourse on beer so stay tuned.
