Finally! I arrived with my Auntie Femie in Frankfurt, Germany on Friday. I have about a week before I move into my room and the study abroad program starts. After planning this for at least a year, the reality of it all is starting to sink in. In effort to beat the jet lag, my aunt and I began exploring the city right away. To our pleasant surprise, there was a festival going on.
Museumsuferfest celebrates Frankfurt's many diverse museums by allowing admission to all museums throughout the weekend for only €4. Two and a half days was not enough time to visit them all, especially when both sides of the Main River are lined with live music, food, dancing, and booths. It was lively event which made it easy to talk to people. I’m not sure which language I spoke more: English, German or Spanish. It felt like entering the dance floor and already knowing the steps.
When I first started dancing, half a minute into a song was all one needed to figure out that I was a beginner. Once I open my mouth here, my accent gives it away that I am American. Like anything else, it'll take time before I can speak fluently. Till then, just being here with every reason to utilize what I have studied is encouraging. That is the point of studying abroad and exactly what I hoped for. Now that I have arrived, I can really get excited!
