Art & Architecture Trip - Day 27

I got up at 0900 today to catch the train from Bensberg to Koln. Stephan, Friday and I were a little late getting to the Saturn (Zitrone) record store (supposedly the biggest LP shop in the world) - but Emily was still there waiting with Marion, a girl in her host family. Once Marion left, the rest of us looked around the LP store for awhile. At 1230, Stephan said he wanted to go to a movie, but Emily and I decided that we were not really interested. We went instead to Dom/Hauptbahnhoff and I bought a newspaper while she called home. Afterwards, we went walking on the Rhein and talked about our host families. She said she was glad to get away - her family was nice, but they didn't do much together. We walked around for most of the afternoon - with a break for lunch at Burger King. At 1600, I went over to Heumarkt and met up with Stephan and Friday again so that we could ride the train back home. We ate supper at 1830 and then we went to Christoff's (he is nicknamed "Cheesy"), who lives next door. We played games there and watched an American movie in German. The movie was supposed to be an adventure film, but it was completely unbelieveable. We returned to the Johland's at midnight. Frau Johland said today that we would go over to Fantasia Land tomorrow. Today marks one year since I first started running in 1985 to make the Cross Country team - I need to start tomorrow to make sure I can run with the team again this year!
