In the agenda for today was the Seehasenfest parade. But before that, I celebrated my host family's son, Lukas, 16 birthday. We ate bread, opened presents, and ate a delicious cherry cake made by his mother. The parade was a sight to see because of all of the different costumes. So many children were present in the parade walking and were dressed in various attires of clothing that represented the history of Friedrichshafen. It was neat to see that history of Friedrichshafen can be explained right in front of you.
Afterwards, I went uptown to the festival with a few friends and looked for sounivers. While there, I had the opportunity to experience German ice cream. Ice cream there is called ice and is much richer than it is in the States....and also very good!!! =] So many flavors to choose from that it made it impossible for someone to choose but since I love chocolate, my decision was already made. We took the ice cream and climbed our way up the sight seeing tower in Friedrichshafen and enjoyed the view on the beautiful, sunny day.
Our transportation home for Luisa and I was riding the bus. It is very convient and I was able to see the country side of the city. We went out to eat in Langenargen at a resturant where Luisa works to celebrate her brother's birthday. Now, ordering food was a different story but what I ordered was sooo delicious. It was beef in a from of a steak that had grilled onions hinted with red wine and topped off with noodles that Germay is famous for. I was so full that I couldn't finish it. Later that night, Luisa and I met up with some other Germans and their students to watch the fireworks that were delayed from the rain lastnight and hung out at the festival.
