Happy Easter

Since I last updated, Dan came to visit, the weather was nice for about a week, our new roommate moved in, and my spring break started.

Dan flew into Frankfurt and I met him there for a long weekend, and it was really nice for the most part. It rained quite a bit, but we still managed to take in a play, go to the Frankfurt zoo, and walk through the weekly flea market along the Main river among other things. Also, Dan took a number of "guerrilla photos" of me, in which he tried to snap the picture before I had the chance to notice and hide. For the most part I was able to avoid the camera, but, as you can see, not in the elevator filled with mirrors. The picture of the city was taken from a cafe on the top of a high-rise building.

While the warm weather lasted, I rode my bike a lot, started jogging again, and began bleaching my hair out. It's not quite blond yet, but not far from it.

Our new roommate, Ayhan, is really nice. But the poor guy must think that moving in here was a mistake. The first day he moved in our drains got clogged and water leaked all over the kitchen. And then our landlord also told us not to use the shower, because water was leaking over the side and through the floor and then the ceiling of our downstairs neighbor's apartment. So he went to the home improvement store and bought this vinyl stuff which we caulked to the side of the tub where the old caulk had come off...it looks awful, smells weird and within a week there's going to be all sorts of mold behind that thing...but at least we can shower temporarily.

Kristin, Adrian and I colored Easter eggs today after Kristin's parents took us out to eat Chinese. As for the rest of my spring break, I'm going to be job hunting/applying and traveling. I'm headed up to Flensburg on the Baltic Sea and then Prague, and I'm really excited about both of those. I realized the other day that I only have three months left, and that I had better hurry up and go visit as many places as I can afford. Some other definite plans I have are to Munich and Salzburg when my parents are here at the end of the month (!) and Warsaw with one of the teachers at my school.

Hope you all have a good Easter! Take care, I'll update this after I get back from Prague.
