Bodensee

The garden at my host family's house provides fresh food for all meals. After breakfast I went with Wolfgang and Erika to the Bodensee, a lake about an hour and a half drive south from Horb. This was the first time on the Autobahn. We were traveling at 150k/h which is around 90mph while other cars were zooming past us, I would estimate around 130-140mph.

The Bodensee was a beautiful lake in a town, if I remember correctly, called Reichenau, or something like that. We went swimming and across the lake, about 10km, was Switzerland. It's amazing how green Germany is, atleast what I have seen so far. It was a very mellow day in comparison to the three days in Tuebingen.

At night I watched the Olympics in German with Wolfgang. As the days go on I am understanding more and more German. I'm excited for school in Horb so I can improve my language skills and better communicate with Wolfgang and Erika. I wonder if I will slowly lose some of my English.

I will try to remember to take some pictures and put them with one of my next posts.
