Tschus for 2 weeks!

Hey Everyone!

It is late the night before we leave for spring break! We can't believe it is already here! Insane. But, we couldn't leave you all hanging so a quick update was definitely needed. This week has FLOWN by. We had our huge state scrapebook and presentation due, our debates, and our second German test within 3 days! But, of course, we made it and completed everything with great success! Tonight we had Econ class with Herr Veit because he was out of town Monday and Tuesday on business so we had to reschedule, but the incentive was that he bought us pizza and beer! haha. You'll never find that in the U.S. will ya?! It was fun and we got to try a beer brewed in the Black Forest (which we'll be going to at the end of the semester). Tonight we finished firming up our plans and packed for tomorrow!

Now for the good stuff, our SPRING BREAK PLANS!!

We leave Thursday night for London. Where we will be staying 3 nights and 2 days. Then flying out early on the 3rd day for Dublin where we'll stay 3 nights and 3 days! Then flying to Brussels, Belgium and spending the afternoon (definitely eating some belgium waffles!) then taking a train to Amsterdam for 2 nights and about 1 day. Then Suzanne and I are coming back to meet our boyfriends who are visiting!!! Andrea and Anna are headed to Madrid then Barcelona then Rome(Gavin and I are meeting them here and traveling all together through Rome!), Venice, Florence, and Piza. Gavin and I are going to Venice, Rome, and Madrid. Suzanne and Bryan are going to Venice, Rome, Florence, Piza, Cinque Terra. Then we're all meeting back to tell about our travels and hear everyone elses! Our entire group is going all over Europe so it will be amazing to hear all the different stories and gorgeous places everyone got to visit!

What we've learned so far: after this trip, we will be skilled travel agents! It's amazing how much you really need to plan for these trips! It's a lot of work, but all so worth it.

We promise to be safe and use good judgement as always, so no worrying!

We all hope you have a great 2 weeks and we will be thinking of you all and taking a ton of pictures so get excited for our update when we're back. It will be a long one with multiple pictures I'm sure!

Love you,

Lauren and the Girls!
