Leipzig: Day 1 and 2

Sorry about the lack of posting, but we have been enjoying East Germany and hanging out with other teenagers who actually try to speak English with us.  We have been touring Leipzig, going to museums and listening to stories about how the Berlin wall was built and destroyed and how the Monday demonstrations took place in front of the church directly in front our motel which has turned out to be a lot nicer than any hotel I've ever stayed out.  It's really upscale.  We've had a great time hanging out with the other students from Pforzheim and learning more German.  Tonight, we went exploring around Leipzig and in the hotel.  I also bought a European jacket, which I think is pretty classy and not too expensive.  Tomorrow, we are going to see a play of some sort so that should be fun and then on Sunday we have to drive 8 hours back to Pforzheim and watch the USA play Japan for the title of champion in the women's world cup.
Now that you're up to date, I'm going to head to bed.
Night,
~Kiersten
