Day 17

Yesterday was a lot of fun. We were all tired but got up to go to Bad Durkheim for the largest wine and sausage festival in the world. It took us almost two hours, but we slept awkwardly on the trains. When we got there it looked like a huge carnival, with rides and super loud music. We wandered around for a little while and got snacks. We should have taken pictures, but we were all too lazy. Finally, Greg, Liv, and I decided it was too hot and we wanted to sit down, so we went into the largest white tent in the center. We sat down and ordered wine. Magically, a live band started playing. They played a combination of popular english songs, german drinking songs, and dancing music. Meghan, Ruedi, Liz, Leah, and Max showed up and after they had a meal, we all decided to dance. It was hilarious. These two guys in lederhosen were dancing around us and one gave Liz a flower, which meant he wanted to dance alone with her. She didn't know that and tried to move away, and Everett came to help out. It was so funny. We stayed there for a while, walked around the carnival part again, got dinner, then decided to head back to Heidelberg. We got back to Heidelberg and I think some people went out, but I went directly to sleep. I slept for 11 hours, and now I am getting ready to go to the study center and spend the entire day working on homework.
