For my first official day in Germany, I really didn’t do that much! After arriving at Gisela’s house, me and Erik settled into the basement. The house is a 3 story row house with a basement, but it’s divided so that the basement can be completely separate; another house. Both levels share the front door, you can use the house fine even if you don’t rent it out. We both pretty much just passed out, we were dead tired from the time difference and the flight.
We woke up later in the day, around 6ish, and were still pretty out of it. I went upstairs and greeted my friend Gregor for the first time. Gregor Schmiedel was one of my two best friends from my time in Germany, living across the street from me. My other friend, Daniel Fuchs, lived next door to Gregor. Not seeing a person in 6 years is quite a shock, especially during the teenage times, when we change so much. It was great to see him, thinks hadn’t changed between us at all. Erik woke up, we grabbed some dinner together, and talked for a while about everything that had changed.
Later that night we went over to Daniel’s house and hung out for the rest of the night. It was great to see him as well and catch up. Both of my friends are now in a band together, we talked about music a lot. All of our tastes in music had changed, but we all still liked the same stuff. I think I started yawning and getting really tired around 11pm, so me and Erik went to sleep early, the jet lag was killing us. I got some great sleep that night…
