Mark In Germany With all of the Karneval activities going'on; -'I have had lots to do, and by the way, I had a wonderful time! This has been the most fun I've had since coming to Germany, I think. Karrieval is so very wonderful. I sure, you all could have been here to see what it was like, but then it wouldn't have been nearly so much fun unless you could speak German! 1 managed very-well- even with my poor German until I ran into a lot of Kolsch speaking people (that is the dialect of the Koln people). I really to listen carefully to understand what's being said even though many words are the same as English, when-people speak Kolsch. Everyone at school (that I know) speaks "High German" at least when they are in school.

I was really anticipating Weiberfastnacht (Thursday the 10th) as I had so much about it. That is sort of the opening of the Karneval celebrations especially devoted to women (men have just as good a time!) I have my language class on Tuesday and. Thursday but luckily it was cancelled for Weiberfastnacht and Karneval dienstag so I had plenty of time to go downtown and look around. Everyone (mainly the women) dresses up in costumes on Weiberfastnacht and really 'turns, it on in the streets the lokals of the city. There was dancing, singing, and drinking both inside and out on the streets.

I just can't describe what it is like. It's more like something in the air a feeling that you get. All I can do is tell you what I saw and did and hope that maybe you can imagine what it was like. There were groups of people singing funny songs on the street all dressed in costumes, people were dancing to old organ-grinder music in the streets with perfect strangers, a marching band of about 25 pieces or so marched through the front door of a shop and out the back. It was all so wopderful in the true meaning of the word it all filled me with wonder! And that was only the beginning! That evening I was invited to go bar-hopping and funmaking with the 13th cla of school (final year) and a few of the teachers.

I was really happy that, they would think of askingmetogo with them. Not only.because it was fun but also because that means that they thought about me. when they were planning to do something. It wasn't too late that night because I had to catch my bus (the bus system isn't too great because they run busses only until about 11:15 p.m.) and besides that there was school the next day. Then Friday night I had an invitation to go to a Sitzung which I had explained previously! I what in the world I was going to do on Monday (14th Rosenmontag) because I thought I'd have to go into the city for the parade alone.

On the last day of-school however, a boy my class asked if I was going to the parade. When I told him that I was going alone, he immediately asked me if I wanted to go with him and some friends of his. I couldn't have been more pleased! His name is Joachim Wolf everybody calls him Jogi (as in Yogi Bear). He is 17, an only child, and lives in the city with his parents in a small apartment. I met Jogi downtown on.

Monday with some of his friends (boys and girls) and we walked through the streets unta the parade was about ready to start, then we located Jogi's parents and all of the relatives (you wouldn't believe how many they have!) and joined them to watch the parade. The parade wasn't really like those at home and we wouldn't have thought that much of it, but here it was pretty great, anyway, the main thing is that they threw a lot of candy to the crowd that's what counts! After the parade, 1 went with Jogi's parents and rela- tivei to a lokal (that's what a bar is called a "bar" in German is only for That was really lots of fun and they are really all nice people. It got pretty late so Jogi's parents invited me to stay overnight with tfrem (they live right downtown), so we called the Winters and told them that I would stay in the city, so everything was arranged. The next day Jogi and I went on a long walk through the city and I got to do and see a few things I haven't done up until now. We walked up to the top of the Cologne Cathedral (509 steps one way!) and then all over place.

It was really a lpt.of_fun and Uie.flrEt.time.that I'-ye ever really gotten to-be alone a long tigj? with one pfjhe kids from my class? and gfcut the time'that I've ever done anything with my schooTfriends. Jogi's parents have invited me to come into the city and spend the weekends with them sometimes. I got a letter from Pam today (Monday 21) and she told me that she has been told, that she will be going back to America on the 20th of June! I was so surprised. I couldn't believe such a thing! Pm trying to work it now so that Pam can come next month during Easter vacation. Time is sort of short, but I hope I can make it, I don't know what I'll do if I have to come back as early as Pam What a shock that was! Wednesday the 23rd I'm going with my class on a hike in the Eifel mountains.

That's really more like hills but it should be a lot of fun anyway. A couple times a year each class takes a day off and makes a class trip somewhere.
