Oooof! What a week. Sorry for my absence, but it's been
busy. Yesterday my host family had a big abschluss party (goodbye party) for
Bonnie. It was fun but very exhausting. I got to meet many family members and
friends of the family. Now, I start my first day as the official au pair
tomorrow. It should be...interesting. Wish me luck!
On another note, it's surfing time in Munich. Yes, surfing!
Here in Munich in the beautiful English Gardens on the Eisbach, the river that
flows through the park, you'll find surfers. They surf on a standing wave that is about a meter tall and is only for experienced surfers. Apparently people will
surf all year round, even in the winter, when I'm sure the Eisbach (ice brook)
is deathly cold. Nevertheless, it is very entertaining and the surfers always
have a hefty audience.
