monday and tuesday (27 and 28)

Yesterday was busy so I didn't have time to post anything.  After research we went looking around Mannheim and ended up in a bookstore-- surprise, surprise.  Across from the bookstore were these two guys who were street performers called the Streetles (written like the Beatles).  We spent a lot of the time trying to find a Go Kart place where we were meeting Melanie's family to race go-karts.  We got lost of course- it seems to have become our specialty.  We ended up finding a whole bunch of blackberries and had fun picking them and eating them while we waited for Melanie's father to find us.  As we were about to leave, a guy our age talked to Krista in German and it turns out that he was from Turkey.  We left and went racing go-karts.  I think because it runs in the family (*cough* Dad *cough*) I wasn't half bad if I do say so myself :P By the time we caught a train back to Pforzheim, it was 11:30 and so I had to head to bed.

Today, wasn't terribly exciting...I had to pipet solution into 4,800 tiny tubes all day which was tedious work.  We ended up leaving early and Krista had to stay behind because she wasn't going to get out until after 6.

Bye for now,

  1. It was nice to chat with you briefly yesterday. Your trip seems to be going very well. We'll miss you at the Beach but you are on a trip of a lifetime and will remember it forever. Aunt Kim still remembers us taking her and Steve to Europe. Ask your Dad if he remembers :) ___ Keep having fun.___ Grampa BobBo
