To Saarland

We took the high speed train to Saarland (180 mph):


It has been awesome living in Kleinblittersdorf with my host family.  Both of the parents work, the son is in highschool, and the daughter is in elementary school.  They also have two cats- they are always causing trouble (insatiable appetites).  Here is Max, the bad cat, rocking his normal pose:


On my first day we went for a walk and also got ice cream. Fabian convinced me to try spaghetti ice, which looks disgusting yet tastes great.  Raspberries, strawberries, vanilla, and white chocolate:
