Shopping in Hannover

Tuesday, June 24, 2008 Lisha: Kaelei and Tori got up early and went swimming at 6 AM (good job Kaelei!) Kaelei taught Tori some swimming things so she could get faster. Then she swam to get her work out in. When she got home Kali and I were just waking up and starting to get ready. By the time we were all ready the three of us got on the train to Hannover to go shopping! It was loads of fun! We found lots of GREAT deals! With the dollar being weak if we spent 10€ it would be like spending $16! So everything we bought had to be on a GREAT sale, but don't worry we found some AWESOME sales. We bought some Germany/Deutschland shirts. It was lots of fun! CAN YOU BELEIVE IT COSTS €1,10 TO USE THE WC(bathroom) AT THE HANNOVER TRIAN STATION! AHHH! Well after we were done in Hannover we took the train back to Burgdorf. When we got home Anna took us into the city (of Burgdorf) on our bikes and we went shopping some more. We didn't buy anything else, we just got some stuff that Quinn needed. By 7:00 PM we got back home and went on our way to swim practice by 7:30. It was so nice because everyone knew us better from being at the 24 hour relay last Saturday. Everyone was talking to us and we had lots of fun... there was only one problem... we went outside and practiced in there 50 meter pool that wasn't heated! IT WAS SO COLD!!! We only swam in the outdoor pool for 30 minutes, then we went back inside for the rest of practice (yay! much warmer!) After practice got over with at 9:00 we talked to some of the other swimmers and we told them about the HUGE spider! They laughed and told us that we are funny when we tell "exciting" stories. We had a nice bike ride home and slept very well from being so tired from swim practice.
