Saturday: Bad Benthiem

so friday, we went to germany for the day.. we went to a town called bad benthiem... it has a really old castle that was built around the year 1100.. yeah, its old.. it was really cool to see. had our little book that was written in english, cause we couldn't read the signs on the walls :P then we went shopping in the little town.. we walked by a store and saw something we liked, but said we would pick it up on the way back to the bus.. little did we know, ALL.. and i mean all the stores closed at like 1:00... so our shopping was cut a little short.. then we stopped at a restaurant for dinner.. couldn't read the menus because they were in german, and the waiter couldn't speak english or dutch, so we had to get another customer to come over and translate the menu for us.. just a little embarrassing :) then we headed back around 3:00 because my dad and brother were going to a soccer game... we went back and played shoelebuk. and i have the new high score :D 147.. i was super happy.. cause my next best score was 107.. and that was our day.. my dad and brother stayed over night at my moms aunt and uncles house and came back the next morning around 9:30 am.
