France

Amanda and Me!

Riqiewier

Well, yesterday I flew to France alone to meet up with my step-sister, Amanda. On my flight to Frankfurt, Germany I was fed a ham sandwich and chocolate bar. The flight was only 1 hour and 15 minutes! Go Lufthansa! 

I was the last person off the plane, and the stewardess  said “Oh, hey. Come look at this!” I walk into the cockpit and the windshield is shattered. She explained that they had hit a big bird about 20 minutes ago… Awesome! 

At the Frankfurt airport you don’t get off the plane and walk through one of those tunnel things into the building- you simply get off the plane and walk on the ground to a bus- and then it shuttles you to the building. Well, before I got off the plane the same stewardess said, “Hey! Wait, we are going to have to throw these 20 chocolate bars away- want them?” Um, yes? I have 20 Twix-ish type things now.

But, now I’m here in Strasbourg, France. We ate at a fan-shay restaurant last night. I had scallops and fried veggies. For dessert, I ordered “Melon and Strawberry Puree in a Glass”. There was a toothpick with cantaloupe, piece of cake-ish type thing, and a strawberry. I ate the cantaloupe and tore the cake thing in half and took a rather large bite. I then began to gag, and couldn’t get the thing down. I sat there for 5 minutes just trying to get it down. The other people tried the other half of the cake thing and came to the agreement that it was a vanilla liquor or rum. Great! So much for being a peer helper! 

We just got back from Riqiewier, a little town outside of Strasbourg. It looks like it is right out of Beauty and the Beast. So cute. I will upload a picture later. Right now I am off to some fanshay lecture and reception. I will update later!
