on Monday I woke up, got ready for school, and headed out only to be stopped by my landlord having breakfast on the front porch. He insisted I sit down with him, eat a brotchen, and have a glass of champagne. As it turned out, it was his 70th birthday. Before I ran off to school, he invited me to his birthday party later that evening.

| Frühstück! |
The party ended up being a lot of fun. I sat by a couple who were from Prenzlau, and they invited me to come visit them sometime. I also had some amazing food (two plates, since everyone insisted I go back for more). They joked that at Germany birthday parties you have to have at least three plates of food. Near the end of the party, we all went outside to watch some fireworks being lit off in honor of Herr Dreblow.
On Thursday Frau Gaertner, one of the teachers at my school, picked me up and we headed to a Greek restaurant in Pasewalk for dinner with a group of women teachers. It was, apparently, a belated celebration of Internationaler Frauen Tag (international womens' day). It was a nice time, but I was pretty tired, so I was also quiet.
Then on Friday I headed to Rostock to hang out with the new friends I met at Fulbright orientation. When I got there, we walked around, had lunch at an Asian restaurant, and ate ice cream. Then we went grocery shopping for the potluck we had later that night.
On Saturday we took a trip to Karls Erdbeerhof, which was kind of similar to a pumpkin patch, in that it had a corn maze, but there was also a huge shopping hall, a food court, a giant slide, little kid rides... It's hard to explain. But it was amazing.
On Sunday we went to Warnemünde, walked along a shopping street, and hung out by the Baltic Sea. I went home with so many awesome memories, and I can't wait to go back and visit again!
