Middy and Tony's Big Adventure

(I am Middy; Courtney is Tony. That's what our 'children' call us anyway!)
My wonderful, beautiful friend Courtney came to see me this past weekend! I was so blessed to have her come here and hang out with me for a while! It was definitely an adventurous weekend though. It started, for me, with a train ride to Frankfurt Airport. I left Wehrheim at 10pm and I arrived in Frankfurt at 11:30pm. (I actually switched trains and everything! All by myself!) Once at the airport, I searched out Starbucks. Ah! Nothing like real American coffee! I waited for Courtney, who was traveling by bus, plane, and bus again, until 2am. When we finally saw each other, it was heaven! A familiar face after 1 month of not knowing anyone is a beautiful thing! We sat and chatted for a few hours, got on the first train to the center of Frankfurt, and then proceeded to walk around the streets at 6am in the rain! We were the only ones out at that time, it was so peaceful! When we finally couldn't feel our extremities any longer, we found a train station and hopped on a train. I'm not really sure where we went or how long we were on the train, as we fell asleep as soon as we sat down, but it was warm and dry and free! We woke up and decided it was time for breakfast, so we asked a girl where we could go. Of course, she told us where McDonalds was. So, we got off the train at the right stop and ate at a quaint cafè across the street. We walked around that part of town for a while, did a little shopping, Court tried on wedding dresses, I cried, went to a Catholic Church, ate brotwurst, and froze some more. Around 1pm we had seen enough and we were ready to go home. So we travelled more by train and bus and finally arrived home at 4pm. We made a quick dinner, drank some Bailey's and hot chocolate, ate a delicious cake from my gay neighbor, and fell asleep. We slept for... 17 hours! It was amazing! We both needed it. On Sunday, we lounged around and took long, hot showers. Then Martin picked us up for bible study, German style. It was ok, I didn't understand anything and I don't think Courtney did either. After bible study, we went to dinner in Friedburg with some friends at a pub where Elvis Presley used to go when he was stationed in Germany! We had beer from a stein there! Our first experience with real German beer! We also had 'Mexican' nachos and we played the German version of Scum! Then, a friend took us to the train station to get back to the airport. Court's bus left at 3am, so we had to wait some more at Starbucks. (I was really sad to see her go, but I am going to Barcelona for Christmas and New Year's, hopefully. I think it will work out for me to get a week off and I can spend more time with Court in her country!) Then, I took the 5am train back to Wehrheim, took another bus to Obernhain and walked the rest of the way home. I was able to see the sun rise! It was amazing! Even though it was cloudy, the colors were still there! Alright, I am going to go get some much needed sleep!
