Good morning world.

Hello. I started out yesterday at 8am Germany time (1am Central Time.) I went to the Smelsers, we had breakfast at 9 til 9:45. I went back to the Duckeck’s, and waited til the Smelsers and the Knapps came and picked me up. Then, we got on the road about 10:20. We got to Hannover’s airport at 11:30, and checked in, and waited til 12, and got loaded at 12:30, then lifted off between then and 12:45. Then we got to Paris about an hour later, and only had about 1.75 hours to find our next terminal. We luckily only had to take 1 hour of that, and then went through their security, and got to the gate while it was loading. Then we lifted off about 4pm, and after a 10.5 hour flight or something, we got to Houston about 7:30pm (Central time.) Going through Customs, that was fun. I accidentally followed the guy that sat next to me in the flight into his line, and then I realized it was the visitors line. And I saw the American line was much longer, but I got it in anyway. And about 9pm, we took off for Dallas. It was only a short flight (I doubt we got past 20,000ft), and we arrived shortly after 10pm. Then we got picked up by a lady from LST, And at 12:30am, I finally was able to fall asleep. (Note: This would be about 23.5 hours of staying awake, with only about 30 minutes of napping.)

And just a while ago, I woke up. Fully awake, nonetheless! I noticed, however, it was dark in the room, with no light shining under the curtains. So I glance at the clock, and it says: 5:18. Yay JETLAG!

Mühlenmuseum!

My hosts (the Duckeck’s) took us (Amanda, David, and me) to Gifhorn, to see a Mill Museum! I took so many pictures there, that I think I’ll make a seperate Picasa Web Album for it. Afterward, we told them to pick wherever they wanted to eat, and we’d pay, as a thanks for hosting me. We went to an Italian restaurant, and I had spaghetti and a salad (both were huge plates…I’m full.) Everyone else got pizza (different types, of course.)

Anyway, I think we’re going to go hang out the Duckeck’s for the afternoon, or something like that. So I’ll upload my pictures sometime soon.

Ok, pictures uploaded and captioned! Here.
