Travelogue
Last summer on the 13 of July I went on a marvelous trip were I experience one of the most incredible journeys I ever made. So I went to Germany for a whole month, without parents, so I could improve my German skills by living with a family I never had met. The plan of this trip was that for one week I would stay in a lodge with Mexican kids and then I would go to live with a new family for a month. The problem was that from all the Mexican kids I was the only one from a different school, all went to a German school. I was panic and terrified that I wouldn't make any friends and I will be alone all the trip. But when I arrived to the airport I made friends very easily and met one of my best friend, nowadays, Mikaela.
After 11 long hour of flight the group and I arrived to the lodge. When I first saw it I thought it was an orphaned it was gray and cold. We need to make groups of 4 so we get a bedroom, I was scared
that Mikaela would leave me alone because till that time she was the only girl I really talk to. But no instead we were in the same bedroom with two other girls named Bianca, a lovely girl and one of my best friends, and Danika. The room was even smaller than a bean and the closets were even smaller that my clothes didn’t fit in it. We had to share a bathroom with other 3 girls, and at the end of the week it stink no one want to enter in it.
Here was where I spent more time. Since it went dark till 10 o’clock we came here. Here we buy drinks and gummies so we could play board games. I could say this were I had more fun. It was a weird place with many different colors but just remembering this place brings me a lot of laugh and happiness.
This was the house of the family that I stay with. When I saw it I thought it was very small and that I wouldn’t have a bedroom. In the way from the lodge to the house I was feeling sad and
nostalgic about my family, so when I saw it I was thinking how different it was from my house and how the family didn’t seem like mine. I was frustrated because I wouldn’t speak Spanish for a whole month and that I was only allowed to talk to my parents once in a week, but at the end they give my their Wi-Fi password which I was completely happy and excited that I could be in contact with my friends and family that were in Mexico.
This is the family who I stay with. Mary Angela, the big sister; Silke, the mom; Jazmin, the youngest daughter; Salvatore, the dad; and the brother. They treat me well and nice with MANY tolerance because my German is very slow and kind of bad. They knew I was feeling down because I miss Mexico. But once I get over it I almost forget about Mexico.
When we went to Mummelsee, a lake, were we bought an extremely delicious cake. Once I get use to the idea that I need to move on and enjoy the trip. Once I tasted this cake I never wanted to
come back. It had a little alcohol that make the cake tart and I almost spited all. I could say it was one of the most delicious cakes I ever tried.
Jasmin and I went to a kindergarden to do social work. I find curious because kids were all mix from ages 3-7. And they werent arranged as kindergarden 1º,2º and 3º. Also these girl name leah made me this drawing. I find it appealing and scared because here we paint the eyes as black or brown and there they paint the eyes blue or green, I find it very engaging since our differneces in the physcal characteristcs and how we represent them .
I went to a Futball game in Frankfurt. I felt like a traitor, since the family was mostly Italian and German so the game was Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Inter de Milán and I support Frankfurt and them Milan. And Frankfurt won so I felt really bad. But at the end I had fun and I was happy that I experience this event, in difference with Mexico it was very quiet and calm without punching other at the end.
I went to the Karlsruhe castle and if we wanted we needed to climb 121 stairs. When I saw it I felt tired even though I hadnt even put a foot in a step. When we finally were up I felt dizzy and sweltering because it was boiling literaly up there.
Also I went to the Bruschall castle, wich I didn’t like because it was destroyed during the WWII so all the painting were modern and didn't had many details as I hoped.
This was the little village I stay, Bruschal. To have this view I needed to climb a hill were I almost faint becuause Jazmin was in shape and well I wasn’t. So we made many stops and the way up so I suggest that you go prepare with a big bottle of watter and many strenght
