Goodmorning!

It is almost 9 o'clock in Lorrach Germany, and we are visiting some good friends in their hometown.  We arrived last night, and have been having a great time ever since.  Had a yummy dinner, and I have to tell my parents I tried a bite of a new dish (it was veal with a tuna sauce, and I LIKED it).  We then had the yummiest ice cream! I got to sleep in a comfortable bed! Ahhhhhh..... It was so nice! I even have room to walk around! This is such a nice break! It is also nice to see friends from back home! Everyone is sleeping right now, but we are going to the farmer's market when they get up and then who knows! Lorrach is a really cute town! One of the BEST things is the Milka factory that is right down the road.  I can see it from out room, the beautiful purple lights glowing :) I never knew I could like a chocolate bar so much.... Amsterdam was really fun as well.  I enjoyed walked around  by the different canals, and mostly the people watching.  I think this was my favorite place to sit, have a cafe latte, and people watch.  I could have done this for hours.  One of my favorite things I did was the Museum for Handbags and Purses.  I feel like I should be saying it was some art museum, but I can get bored with those prettty quickly.  There are three people I wish were with me at this museum: my mom, my Granny Jo, and Cheryl Sanders (my moms friend).  They love and have more handbags than anyone I know.  Their personal collection of purses is probably equivalent for the ones in that museum.  It was neat to see purses from the 16th century and today.  Favorite animal skin was the eel skin.  Favorite designer today was Gucci.  I wish I could have taken pictures but they said no! :( Besides the handbag museum (wink wink), Amsterdam is known more for their red light district.  I must say I still cant really believe it.  I heard about it, saw it, and still I can't believe its real and so accessible. We just stumbled upon it while walking around.  Crazy..... Anyways, I know these blogs are scattered and filled with bad grammar, but I write them pretty quickly and remember things as I write, in no particular order! But... Im glad to be in a smaller town.  I pass KFC all the time in Europe which makes me remember the south every time :) Who knew there would be so many! Well Im rambling so ill post more later! Love you all bunches!

P.S. I am dying to check Perez Hilton.com but im too scared of finding out results from the Bachelorette. I tried to watch the full episodes on Tanja's computer, and it turned me down saying "it was only for United States viewers to watch" :( Oh well! Hopefully I can make it a few more weeks! I miss my friends, family, the bachelorette, and turtle lattes. Love you guys!
