EASTER!!!!

I had an awesome Easter! Konrad invited me to his family's house for Easter so we left after worship yesterday and arrived at his house at about 1pm and ate a DELICIOUS dinner of schnitzel and all sorts of yummy german foods. Konrad's family is quirky and wonderful and fun!! I had such a great time there and we colored easter eggs in a very different way from anything I have ever done. We heated wax and then applied it to uncooked eggs with little metal things in designs and then you let the wax dry and then heat them in a pot full of onion skins to dye the shells brown but where the wax is it stays white but then the wax melts off too...beautiful! I am going to get some home somehow.
We went to the F60 which is a massive piece of mining machinery you can look it up on wikipedia and translate it or follow this link, which i don't know if it will work : http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fde.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FF60&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools
we took a tour at dusk and so we got to see beautiful scenery and the big thing lit up at night...it was really interesting.
This morning we went to a miniature town and saw a real windmill and the wind was blowing so hard that the whole place was shaking from the wheel going round...it was really neat but they had to stop it because it was going too fast. We grilled for lunch and it was again delicious. It was so nice to have easter with a family away from my own family--harder to miss them then.
The train back was packed with students and people coming back from Easter holidays and Konrad and his sister Fredericka had to sit on the floor in the passageway but we had a great time playing cards and just talking.
My last week in Leipzig begins...there is so much I want to do still and lots of people to spend time with before I leave.
