What was the best meal this week?:

My best meal was Kaffee (coffee) and Kuchen (cake). Clara, my German sister, and I baked a chocolate mousse cake. Then in the early afternoon we sat down in the kitchen and made a pot of coffee and then each had a slice. It was delicious and especially nice because we had made it together.

What music did I listen to this week?:

I listened to a variety of music this week. It was the first week of classes, so to prepare I listened to some French and German. Also I am going to visit a friend in Prague in the Czech Republic, so I have been listening to some Czech music to familiarize myself a bit with the language.

What activity was the most fun this week?:

The activity that I enjoyed most this week was walking my friend's dog through the vineyards around her village. It was a bright day, not too warm but also not too cold. We walked and talked and enjoyed the time and space outside together.
