Travel Weekend

So this morning my mother and Tante, Hetty, left :( However, there was no tear shed...so that was good. I had a fabulous weekend with them!

They arrived Wednesday night at 11 pm here at school. And I got them settled down in their guest room. Then we woke up bright and early to start our "Weekend Madness" together. On Thursday we spent basically the whole day in Friedrichshafen, and then went out to the Bahnhof (Train Station) to eat. It was delicious and we had some great conversations about God, Guys, and everything else!

Then on Friday it was rainy and cold so we thought it would be fun to drive to Stuttgart, the closest main city, around 2 hours away. 20 minutes away from the city the entire highway got shut down and we were sitting on the highway for around 3 hours. We found out later a truck crashed into a tunnel and they had to get it our and everything. After grabbing a quick bite to eat in a small nearby town we came back home, which was kinda a disappointment. Then after 6 hours of driving we stopped at Meersburg, a small town near Bodenseehof, and grabbed some kaffee und kuchen (coffee and cake). So even though it was stressful, we still bonded and enjoyed the day together. Then for supper we grabbed some Thai, got comfy on the bed and watched 'Ever After.' I felt so at home, it was so something me and my mom would do at home.

Then yesterday, Saturday, we had brunch at school, and then took a boat to Konstanz. It is a beautiful town that wasn't bombed during the war so it is just one cobbled stone street after another. It was old and beautiful.

And then I woke up at the early hours of today to wake them up and carry down the heavy suitcases down the narrow and steep flights of stairs. We then enjoyed our last minutes in the Honeycomb room and departed. It was a wonderful time with my mom and Tante.

And then today was a super lazy day. Watched Glee (I have now caught up on the second season) and ate chocolate :) Now everyone is returning and life is going back to normal again...and this week the speaker is Rob Wittaker. It will be a good week, and I am so thankful that my mom and Tante could come. God is so good.
