Learn How To Travel 101

I had to learn how to travel today! Which basically entailed me following Emily and lex around since I have no idea what im doing half the time! We had to take a bus to the streetcars to the train station and like write down information, it was pretty cool cuz now I do actually feel a little more comfortable with the idea of traveling every weekend! Especially since I do know how to get to the train station now! Oh bad news though, I found out I just bought the wrong type of Eurail but luckily I haven’t activated it yet so I think I can get it refunded… hopefully =( I’m like the only one who seems to be having trouble understanding how they work, but I think that’s usually how the situations always go with me!







Oh yeah and I almost totally forgot!! We met the mayor of Heidelberg today!!! We went to like the city hall or whatever it is they call it here and we had a little meet and greet session just him and all of us heidelbergers! It was pretty cool! He told us that he’s in charge of the environment part of the towns concerns. Like how they just changed all their schools to being solar operated and they have one of the biggest (or maybe the biggest) solar operators in the world and that it looks attractive too and it is very efficient! I was actually really interested in it cuz ever since my hippy environmental English class I’m kinda really concerned and into all that environmental stuff… I know I’m a loser, but it still doesn’t hide the fact that that stuff intrigues me!! Haha! Anyways we got this really amazing schocolade (chocolate) and it was wonderful! We got a postcard and pencils too… who should I send it to…??? =) Oh and he was young too which was suprising and he kept asking how you would say certain words because he gave the presentation in english which is really cool and I felt bad for him when he had to ask some words like he didn’t know how to say lightbulb, I don’t even know how to say the!!! It was pretty cool! We got all dressed up and whatnot, so you know I liked it!
