Tag 14

In the morning, we were woken up around 7am by loud children. We got up around 8am for breakfast which was cereal, bread, cheese, coffee, cookies, etc. Then we walked past a lake by the hostel and through this absurdly long and hot path that Ashley tricked me into going on... I was schvitzing and it was a bit uncomfortable but eventually we made it to the Bahnhof after going down through part of the forest. 

We put our stuff in lockers in the Bahnhof and went to get a snack at a cafe. The streets were pretty much deserted compared to the day before. There were a bunch of infants and little kids on their bikes and other toy vehicles. There was one asian guy playing hide and go seek with his infant and an old man that was staring at me from about 3 feet away. At the cafe I got some pasta and accidentally asked for a bag of coffee (I said 'tasche' instead of 'tasse'). 

After all that, we took a train back to Bebra where we waited for about an hour and finally took the train back to Göttingen. That night was the final game of the Euro 2008 soccer tournament where Germany lost to Spain 0-1. Sehr schlecht.

By the way, the dates above the blog post titles (like 'June 30') are not correlated with the actual days which are shown by the titles ('Tag 1' 'Tag 2' etc.). They are simply the days I posted to the blog.

So Is schvitzing Yiddish or German or both? Found it to mean "sweating" or something to that effect.
Love the posts and the pictures. Have fun in Amsterdam, that should be a very interesting place.
Peace to you both. We are schvitzing here in hot southern Cal too! carla
