Momentary snag in my line. I'm feeling better today. My head is a bit more clear with plans for Italy (looks like we'll be staying in Israel's friend's church in Milan for the first three nights and then at a friend from SSU's dorm at the Florance University, both should be a lot of fun!). Also, I've figured out the plan this weekend for Oktoberfest in Munich. All systems a go. Chelsea, Mike, Israel, Reese and I will be taking the train early morning on Saturday and arrive in Munich at noon. Then we'll leave late that evening. Enough time to enjoy the kulture, listen to some good German music, enjoy a giant pretzel and, perhaps, buy my first (and probably last) beer. Who knows, I dont know where else such a fun story of my first beer will be. :]
Today was my second to last day in Horb. Sad to see it go, really. It held such adventure and intrigue for me when I first arrived. Most of the more rambunctious students here complain about Horb's small and quiet demeanour, but I say, only boring people are bored! I've been here just as long as they have, and yet I have explored the back staircases and hidden foot paths that surround the town. Along with Israel, I have discovered little churches, towers and parts of the town otherwise ignored by the students studying abroad. They have focused their time, money and energy to drinking late into the night ever weekend. They remain niave to the adventures that await the true traveller. And now that I must leave, I yearn to come back and possibly visit again. Tubingen, however exciting and fun, holds a more loud and active student night life. Hardly as many secret footpaths or secret fields like that of Horb. Both places will serve me well, I know, and I am lucky to have been here as long as we have.
