Today when I woke up, I was so tired and sire from all the dancing and drinking that I ended up spending most of my day in bed watching episodes of South Park and sleeping. It was a glorious day for me. However, I did miss the opportunity to go to the Leipzig Zoo. The only thing I really missed though was some different architecture from the buildings they house the animals. Believe it or not they have the same animals in the Leipzig Zoo that they have in the Cincinnati Zoo. Weird, isn't it?

For dinner, my host family and I went down to the neighbors that live below us for a little barbecue. There was bratwurst and, what I believed to be, pork steaks of some sort. There was also an assortment of salads as well. It was all very, very delicious and was only cooked on like a 10 inch diameter grill on the balcony. The only problem was that the neighbors do not speak very good English, so I was unable to communicate with them, but it turns out that their son is in Dayton right now studying abroad at one of the high schools. Who knew it was such a small world? Barbara and her son was also there. He is around Sonja's age. She was pounding down all the food that was put in front of her and drinking it all away. However, it did not seem like she was getting the least bit of drunk or tipsy, even after we all had a shot of schnapps. It reminded me a little bit like Jagermeister. After dinner, I went back to my room and was preparing to just go to sleep for the rest of the evening until Troy gave me a call, saying he and some of the other guys were going to go to Champions to watch some of the NBA or NHL Playoff games. They were only able to find the NHL Game, which was Red Wings vs. Blackhawks. So, we watched some of that and ordered food and a beer. Then, we left after the 2nd period was over and then passed out in my bed.

I know this day was very uneventful, but after my past couple of days, the rest was definitely needed because the coming week was going to be full of more crazy adventures along with trips to BMW and the start of school work. Ugh...
