Friday morning was spent packing up all of my things so that I could enjoy my last weekend without having to worry about it. It will be interesting to see if the bags are too heavy. I have a pile of books to lug back with me so I’m a bit concerned. After packing, my afternoon was spent with Anke, Caro’s mother. It was sooo nice. We walked around a couple book stores looking for a good German cookbook to take home with me. I found a couple little ones with some traditional recipes in them and am very excited to try them. Then Gerhard, Caro’s father, met up with us at a little coffee place and we enjoyed our coffee while having a great visit. I enjoy their company very much and will miss them dearly when I leave. They have done so much for me while I lived here and are very special family to me. The evening was spent cooking Schafskaese with our friend Suse. Schafskaese, meaning sheep cheese, is baked in the oven with onions, peppers, tomatoes, garlic and spices and then accompanied by a fresh baguette. Very delicious! One of my faves for sure. Caro got home just as the food was finished and we sat down for a great dinner and a couple bottles of Prosecco. It was such a fun girls night with excellent food, good drinks, and great friends. We visited, listened to music, and enjoyed our time together on the Hauptstrasse in Heidelberg. I must say my German was in prime condition and I am sooo sad that I won’t be hearing the language much anymore to practice and learn. A couple more months and I would have definitely had the hang of it. BUT I already found a great place in Chicago where I can take some German classes if I can find the right class times. YEAH!
