so being with my host family over easter weekend has been relaxing and it is nice to be well taken care of. they feed me well. it is nice to talk to them and I have the chance to read. last night I read, and read, and read had a glass of wine while eating and it was nice to just relax and not be on the go. i of course had the option to call friends. It would be nice to see people but I dont know if i am feeling antisocial or what but I was just really looking forward to doing nothing but being cozy. so i called no one cause once the plans start getting ade then i spend more time outside of the house than in it, i dont sleep well, i try to sleep and the train, and then i end up being tired all week. So i just finished reading some 500 page detective story. not the best written thing I have ever experienced but satisfying.
experienced frustration looking for a church to go to for easter. i have gone to nothing but catholic churches since being here. there is of course nothing wrong with that but i am looking for a change of pace. so i have decided to look for a protestant church. in germany the dont have nearly as many denominatons as in the US. I didnt see anything like a sunrise service being offered. That made me sad. Easter used to not be such a big deal for me. Then last year I went to the sunrise service at All Saints and it the most beautiful service I had ever been to. I dont think the experience I will have tomorrow will be comparable but I hope God suprises me. If anything I will be interested to see what the differences are between the catholic and protestant churches here.
well time to shower and not be all bummy. maybe a relaxation bath and more reading. oh, i love it
