And here we go

Hello again to all those I love and that love me. Today was my second day here in language at the Carl Duisberg Centrum (or CDC). I now live with my host family, familie Holtzman (Jens und Britte). They are absolutely awesome and their house is amazing. It is more like an American condo, but a really big condo. Britte is a school teacher (she teaches english and religion) and Jens works at a company that sells marketing materials. They have been helping me with pronounciation, vocabulary, culture, and some grammar. I have a long way to go so that i can be able to carry out an entire conversation in German. I'm going to upload a picture of what i see around here. The city of Saarbrücken is not very large but it is beautiful and diverse in its own way. I managed to get lost today trying to find my way to my bus line 107. I used my horrid German to acquire some help and even tried to call the host family. Unfortunately the only pay phone I could find was broken, being an industrious man i looked in the change tray where I found 21 cents. Therefore my hours of being absolutely lost were rewarded (I hope that I can become more terribly lost so that I can increase my profit margin). From the Holtzman house I can litterally walk to France, which I may do pretty soon it's only about 2 km. Okay...well its now almost 1 here and I need to get to bed.

Guten Nacht
Reggie

Hey love,
I'm glad you were able to make the best out of being lost in your new city. It sounds like you have an awesome host family and that you will learn a lot from them. Keep pushing through everything, I am so proud of all you are accomplishing. I love you!
Deine Liebe,
