First Full Week in Bonn

Guten Tag,

Our first week was great.  We visited a German town called Cologne yesterday and went on a guided tour of Cologne cathedral where the three wise men are allegedly buried.  After seeing the cathedral we walked to a chocolate factory loccated on the Rhine River where we indulged ourselves to our hearts content in the chocolate cafe they had.  After returning to Bonn me and my house mate, Michael, were rewarded for our "tough day at school"  with a plate of warm spaghetti by our host mother; The meals here consist generally of meat, bread, cheese, and a lot of potatoes.  Our host mother says her husband is not content with his dinner unless it is comprised of a significant amount of potatoes.  In conclusion, the first week was a success and I look forward to next week and to Carneval the week after.
