Last night was the craziest night ever! Yesterday we started off the day by just walking around Bonn, it is so nice and pretty here we went shoe shopping as I am TRYING to find boots but it is very difficult!!! we went to the botanical gardens it was so cool and we went to the Haribo company place where you can buy tons and TONS of CANDY!!!!!!! It was so cool we bought so much candy my stomach hurt afterwards!!!! We came back had a nap and then Vivien (Jennifers sister) made us a traditional German meal! It was really cool!!!+

Then we had a few drinks at home and went out to a club (which Iw as TOTALLY over dressed for!!!) they didnt tell me this was like a jeans7tshirt kind of grundgy club and I was wearing my super cute short dress from Mykonos with nice high heals!!! Whatever we just danced and danced and drank and drank and DANCED, at one point I rolled my ankle and landed right on my knees in some glass or something because I had blood all over my legs and ankle!!! But I didnt even notice until later!!! I was like I am tired lets get out of here and when we left the club it was 3 AM!!!! I couldnt believe it I thought it was like midnight or something it was lie some weird time vortex in there or something!!! So we are walking back and of course I took my shoes off, beacuse thats just kind of my thing!!! so we are walking and talking and having a GREAT time and we walked to the main square where next week they are having some kind of water lights show, well I guess they were testing it out and they had this water spraying up into the air so high taller than the buildings! So liek the crazy girls we are we start RUNNING towards it because it was so beautiful they had red liughts shining from the bottom so were running and running and I guess NONE of us realized that the water actually doesnt stay in the water place it was raining all over the street so we all got wet and that was IT you could not drag Vivien and I out of this water we through our shoes and bags to the side and just ran around in this giant water fountain thing and we were SOAKED and suddenly this crowd of people came out of nowhere and we are just running and running and Jennifer is standing back taking all these photos (aghhh it is so hard to explain but once I am able to put the photos up you will get it!!) so these poor guys who were testing it were I guess actually shutting it down but we went up to them and asked them to keep the water and lights on and put music on and they did! Haha they just stood there watching us run into the water! Itw as so freaking COLD though- I didnt relaize how cold I was until later we must have run around for like 45 minutes in that water! So we start walking home which turns out we walked the WRONG WAY soaking wet FREEZING and we are not even walking in the right direction and I am like this is not right we are not walking the right way but noone is listening to me and an hour later I am freaking out like I am cold I am tired and I dont want to be out here anymore I will PAY for a cab, but of course the whoel town looks deserted at whatever time in the morning and we cant find anyone or anything! Eventually Vivien and I were standing down in the train station where it was warm and some weird bum was sleeping and Jennifer found a cab! We got back to the flat adn Jennifer ran this hto bath and made both of us get in it! Haha two grown women splashing around ina bath together! Poor Jennifer had to totally mom us!!! She made us food and hot tea and brought it into the bathroom where we were making asses out of ourselves! It was after 5 when we finally went to bed!

So anyways today we are off to some really REALLY small town to see Jennifers friend and tomorrow I am going to speak to an english class! Haha can you believe that! her friend is an english teacher and wants me to come to her class to talk to the kids! YES I know this sounds ridiculous after my 5 year old night last night!!!

ALSO I had met this guy in Athens and he is an australian I think but anyways he was going to be going to Ireland to geta job and live and I remembered that so I wrote him and it turns out he is living and working in Galway! Thats where I want to go!!! So I asked him about getting a pub job and about finding a place to live there and he said I will find a pub job NO PROBLEM in Galway there are so many pubs it ridiculous and there are tons of rooms for rent! He said this friend of his is looking at moving out on her own and perhaps the three of us could get a place together! COOL!

Ok so there is no spell check on this because I am using a very old German computer so sorry if it is terrible to read!
