Today. 03.10.13

So today marked the first day of Autumn break, also known as Unity Day in Germany. There wasn't that much to do, mainly because I didn't feel like doing anything. I started to finally get sick and being unaccustomed to the German illness and viruses, it's hitting me pretty hard. 

My host mom said that she had a 'surprise' for us for the past week and today was the day for that. We went to a concert held in the greenhouse in a town about 5 kilometers away! It was a Canadian-based quartet of viola/guitar/cello/fiddlers and they were really good! 

(It also helped to distract against the homesickness I was feeling and I was responding to it in a negative way but I got over it).

Anyways, they were really amazing - it made me want to start up playing an instrument again, but check them out! (http://www.thefretless.com/) 

That wraps it up, I guess, I just wanted to make a quick post before I go to bed. 

Guten Nacht!
