Tuesday! We got back from Berlin Monday night and Tuesday morning Steffi and I woke up at a ridiculous hour to be at a university class at 8am in Cologne so Steffi could look into the university and see if that's where she wanted to go. Now Cologne is about 30 min from Wermelskirchen where Steffi lives so we got there and found the class and sat down. It was kinda funny, I had no idea what was going on, until the professor started putting up slides and I realized we were learning about AIDS, so some of the words were actually in English on the screen!! Between that and the fact that I've had a class or two about AIDS in college I was actually able to follow the idea of the class. (made me feel better about not being able to speak with anyone in the class)
After class we went downtown Cologne to see the cathedral. I never thought cathedrals were that cool before I came to Europe, but now I get excited every time I find one! This one is SWEET!!! I took so many pictures it's ridiculous!
The Cologne Cathedral is famous for being the resting place for the three kings who came to visit Jesus in Bethlehem, and we were able to see their shrine and everything!
After walking through the sanctuary we decided to climb up to the top. This had somewhere between 550-600 steps going up in the twisty fansion!! It took forever and was kinda dificult! When we finally got up there (with a stop at the bell tower) we got to walk around and look at the whole city! It was beautiful and totally worth it! I love Cathedrals!! :)
The rest of that day consisted of shopping, sleeping and hanging out!
The next day was Sebastian's birthday (Steffi's brother) We had omletes for breakfast and I did some homework and slept until the party that night. After the party Steffi and I just hung out and talked for a while and then went to bed kinda late. Thursday we slept in and then Steffi drove me to the airport and we said goodbye and I came back to Denia! It was a wonderful week with Steffi and so much fun to see all of the cool history and interesting stuff!!
The rest of that week I just worked on homework and hung out with some of the girls on my trip who were here in Denia when I got back. We had a great time watching movies and having some girl talk! It was good to be back in Denia! :)
