I get to use characters like Ö ä and ß cause I'm in Europe

Hi everyone! I'm in Dusseldörf and it is so wonderful. Traveling here felt like forever only because two of my flights were delayed by a total of four hours, I sat next to a man who talked to me about the powers of Christ for almost my entire trip to Philly and I had little sleep from the night before. Once I boarded my flight from Frankfurt to Dusseldörf my eyes closed and I snoozed out without even realizing. I think the only other time I passed out like that was when I took a statistics class at SCC. Right before the plane landed I woke up and felt completely rejuvenated which was a good thing because I was very excited to see Kathryn. She met me at the airport and took me home using the train. It was so nice to see her again. Once we got home I met Lauren, Kathryn's boyfriend. He is French and has a wonderful french accent. They are currently living together in a quaint apartment in the heart of the city. I could definitely live where they are living. After that, Kathryn took me out on bikes to show me around so that I would know where to go. We rode to this park called Volksgarten right near her house. It is pronounced Folks-gar-ten and it is breathtakingly beautiful. It is one of the most charming and captivating parks I've seen. Once we returned, Lauren had made dinner for us. We sat out on the patio and ate, drank Bitburger (their bud light but better) and had really fun conversations. They are very welcoming to me.
Today both Kathryn and Lauren went to work so I took one of the bikes out and have been taking pictures and exploring all day. Speaking of taking pictures and exploring... I think I'm going to go do that again...
I type more later!!!
