I have arrived! Since yesterday morning, our group has been in Munich, Germany... We'll remain here for a few more days. Yesterday we did lots of traveling around the city. One thing I've already learned: Don't pack so much! Its not very fun carrying your luggage around a city... I had about 3 german men laugh at me and say, "...so much luggage..." (of course they had cute accents so I wasn't bothered by their mockery. :) We also had lunch at this place called Hofbräuhaus... I ordered the Bavarian Meatloaf, and when it came out, all the people at my table looked in disgust. It was a huge loaf-shaped chunk of bologna. I'm not even kidding. However, even though it tasted like bologna, it had a little better flavor. I also had a couple sips of my first german beer last night... honestly, I wasn't a fan. However, some of the others were, but that's another story completely...
Last night was pretty rough trying to get over jet lag, but hopefully tonight will be much better. Today, we walked from 9 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon... it was intense. We got to see lots of cathedrals and we visited the Deutsches Museum (The German Museum). This museum was huge and mainly focused on the German's engineering progression. I also had my host family interview tonight, so I should find out who I'll be living with tomorrow morning. Overall, its been fun so far... I have already had a few challenging times, but God is good and He's never left my side! Please pray...
- ...for the others in my group.
- ...that I will be a light to the people around me... (As a believer, I don't agree with drinking to get drunk...it was hard for some of the people to understand this when we talked about it)
- ...that I would settle into my surroundings and be open to a new way of life.
Sounds like a blast already. Good luck with the host family interviews. See and do as much as you can while you're there. And learn to enjoy the beer, it may take a bit, but it's worth it.
