Shopping in Heilbronn

On the second day, I woke up at 9:45 am even though I felt like I could have slept forever. We ate breakfast as a family in Tante Suse's kitchen at 10 am. The food in Germany is the most delicious stuff ever. For breakfast, we had all kinds of different breads and fruit. I would put Nutella on my bread and eat it with a banana. It was very, very good. Sina took off from work for the entire time we would be in town so she could show us around and do things with us each day. After breakfast, we decided to go into the city near by where Sina works, Heilbronn, and shop. We spent most of the day going in and out of stores which were all very similar, if not the same, to stores we have here in the US. We bought a few things and then stopped in at a little cafe for some lunch. We ordered Falmmkueche which is kind of like a pizza without the sauce and you can order it with different toppings. I was hesitant about trying it, but it ended up being very good.

When we got home, tired from shopping and walking around all day, Sina and I started watching The Proposal. We watched it in German with English subtitles. Although I had seen the movie several times, it was way more entertaining in German. Apparently, the Germans have the same voice for each of the big actors and actresses so the voiceovers are all the same, which I thought was interesting. So, Sandra Bullock sounds the same in all of her movies even to the people watching the movie in German. Sina, her brother, Sandro, Bernd, Aunt Suse, Uncle Erhard, my mom and I all went out to dinner at Angelika's restaurant. Ordering in German was difficult for me for the first few days, but after a while, I got used to it. After dinner, Sina and I went out to hang out with her friends. She introduced me to about five of her friends and her boyfriend. We went out to the pub and sat with Alex, Sina's boyfriend, and her other friend, Francesco. We called Francesco, France. The four of us stayed out and talked for most of the night and then Sina and I went home. Every night when we could come back from being out, I would go upstairs to Aunt Suse's house and she would stay downstairs and go into her room. She would say, "Schalf gut, meine Kusine." (sleep well, my cousin) and I would respond with "Schlaf besser, Sina." (sleep better, Sina) It became a habit with us and happened every night after.
