Hallo. It's now approaching 2am here in the lovely Frankenthal city. Cori and I are just winding down from yet another day of adventures. we spent a good majority of our time at the Mannheim ticket counter trying to finalize our backpacking trip. we have finally figured everything out, and will actually be flying everywhere since its cheaper and lends us more time for exploring. We leave tuesday for Stockholm (!!!!!) and will be there visiting Vinny and Karin for a few days and then fly from stockholm to london (another"!!!") and from london to paris to visit our favourite frenchy Maud! we couldn't be more excited for our trips. We are traveling with no more than a back pack! Can you believe this? I can't! I just, I can't beleive that I'm here, and living my dream, and I get to do it with my best friend! :)
Being here in Europe, just feels so right. I know that this is where I'm meant to be, I just know and it makes me so happy. I don't even know how to explain it, but when I first came to europe, back when I was 14, I remember walking the streets of Paris, and just knew that that was my walk of life. I know it's odd and sounds stupid to go off on such a tangeant, but I just feel like I'm being called here. The people are incredible, the way of living couldn't be more my style, and I just feel like my true self here. I can be whoever I want, I can go wherever I want, whenever I want, I can dress how I feel, the culture is incredible, and life is a much simpler style than in the states. The old mixed with the new, and not to mention, I get to speak different languages. I can speak english, french, swedish, ...working on the german, and hopefully more to come soon. I just never want to stop learning other languages ( speaking of foreign languages, Cori is giggling up a storm here as she is on facebook, because she just turned her language to pirate-english. haha.) anyways.... what was I saying. Oh yea, I love it here :)
Tonight Cori and I decided to have an easy going night, and it couldn't have been more perfect. we went to the most amazing cafe haus aroud 9pm, and sang our hearts out to a Regina Spektor song for some strangers who truly enjoyed our performance. Haha, we love to entertain ourselves and in return entertain others :)
This cafe is so unique and I have to say it is my favorite cafe in the ENTIRE world (thus far). It used to be an old fire station and the architecture of this building is so incredible, and the character it has is so inspiring. We went to go and journal. I was working on some sketches for my collection and Cori was writing her list of things to do before she dies. As she was listing her things, we realized even more how similar we are, because just about everything she named off, is apart of my list. Our friends out here, Sebastion and Sari, were telling us how scary our similarities are. We laughed about everything and played a german board game that was uber fun (- the german won.) Time passed quickly but was quite the treat- we enjoyed our drinks and laughed our hearts out till 1am. :)
Well, I should probably be going to bed soon. Cori and I are going to skate to the high school and visit Max before class starts and then from there we are driving up to France ( Straussburg) to go fabric shopping, and Sebastion is coming too!!! Can't wait! Wish me luck on finding some incredible things. I love you and miss you all! I really wish you were here! xoxo!

Awesome fun!! Had coffee outdoors at MST w/your Mom yesterday so we're not too jealous! Keep loving every minute.
