Christmas time here is amazing. There are Christkindlmarkts everywhere. They are so cool. They are big christmas markets where they sell punsch, food, and gifts of all kinds. There are rides and you can ride ponies and of course a ton of people. they are really cool. Ive gone to a few of them now and they are just great to go and hangout with friends.
Buying gifts is a problem though.. i have no idea what to get anyone! so you should email me and let me know what you want :) it would help a lot. But im still looking! In my class we have secret santas and i have noooo idea what to get for my person. its difficult! so i hope they like candy :)
The best news is that i have been able to play basketball. twice a week :) i love playing with all the guys. i definitely think it will make me better. and it will for sure keep me in shape. i work out 4 times a week. so i no longer have to worry about gaining a bunch of weight from all the delicious food ive been eating :) and this saturday the team has a christmas party!
So my plans for the weekend are going to my classes punsch stand and the g classes waffle stand for a while and then going to sophies house with sam for a movie night! then on saturday im making oreo shakes with my friend richi. he goes to a tourism school and one day they had the recipe for them and he remembered that i love them so were going to make them! then saturday night is the basketball teams christmas party. Sunday i will try and go to a christmas market to get candy.
Christmas music is starting to play everywhere. I like it very much :) Today i serenaded Judith with All I Want For Christmas Is You. Lunch time can be very funny.
So everything has been going really well here. I still fit in great with my host family and my friends are amazing. but dont get me wrong. i miss everyone at home very much! and i love hearing about whats going on with everyone! i guess my parents are in california right now for a marathon. or were? so i hope that went well!
OH and i cant forget the bath hall my host mom took johanna, teresa, and i too! it was sooo cool! There were pools inside and outside, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and heated chairs. In the outdoor pool there was a massage place. they had about 10 places to lie down and water would shoot up and massage you. and then in the inside pool you could sit and have the same thing. It felt so good. So that was really nice.
Well happy holidays everybody!
and in that one you can see how the pool goes outside.
just ignore the two people in the front. if you look at what the people in the back are doing you can see the massage thing.
again ignore the people. those bubbles coming up are the sit down massage things.
and heres me and sam on a ride at the Chriskindlmarkt in Linz :)
