Departure and Arrival

Sunny but chilly San Francisco was the beginning of my departure. My mom and Nick took the liberty of dropping me off. It didn't really hit me until I was on the plane that I was actually leaving. But because I was so tired, I fell asleep, and didn't wake up until we took off. Then after I ate I fell back asleep for who knows how long. It was an uncomfortable flight. I didn't sleep much even with a sleeping pill. I was sitting next to a not so petite woman and I felt like I was scrunched up the whole time. I was definitely happy when I finally arrived to Germany.

I was so utterly happy to see my dad waiting for me at the gate. But so freaking tired. I have never had such a bad case of jet-lag. Even now I am falling asleep just trying to write this. I have discovered my German really sucks. Steffi's kids are adorable. And to put everything together in true Barbie fashion, while we were at the mall, I almost fell off a bench. Who falls off a bench?

Why hello Europe, it's good to see you keep my clumsiness, well, ummm, clumsy. So now, I sit here, Friday evening, praying for bed, and waiting to be in Hungary. We start the drive tomorrow. A very small car with 5 people. Did I mention it's 100 degrees here. Yea, about that....
