A Drive By Death 😂

Ok not to be overdramatic or anything but today was the closest I have ever been to death since arriving here in Germany. We had a family gathering for my host Opa's (grandpa) Birthday, and at around 7pm the whole family headed to a nearby village to eat a birthday dinner at a restaurant called "Gasthof Weigmannsdorf." I decided to ride with Opa Mette, Oma Mette, Clara (my host sister), and Alexander Mette (my host uncle) who was the driver. This ended up being an intersesting idea. Alexander, who although a really cool guy, very smart (he is an eye surgeon) and fun to talk to, drives like crazy 😂. Seriously, I have never been more nervous riding in a car then how I was today. I mean we were going like 100kmh around pretty sharp turns. The whole time I was in the back closing my eyes and trying not to get car sick as we sped over hill and through turns. It was all fun and games though as Oma Mette, Clara and I slid around laughing and Alexander was in total control the whole time! Dinner at Gasthof Wigmannsdorf was amazing. I had Schnitzel with mushroom pasta and a salad. Then for dessert I ate vanilla ice-cream with hot raspberry sauce and whipped-cream! Delicious!
