This week has been filled with many adventures and discoveries. My favorite discovery was Heigelweiher and the day of sunshine. If there is ever a sunny day in Germany you have to take advantage of it. You have to go swimming while it's warm. That's exactly what we did on Sunday the 1st of August. Our first day of bathing suits was great. After about twenty minutes of walking along a beautiful forest path, we ended up at a lake full of laughing and shouting kids. They were trying to get a rope swing down from where it was tangled in a tree. I jumped into the water ready to go and help. My mom was more reluctant because the water was pretty cold. We swam as fast as we could over to where the kids were, unsuccessfully trying to get the rope swing down. Luckily we had my mom's very tall friend to help us. He got it down and we started to swing. While they were waiting for a turn some of the kids even climbed up the tree and jumped from the top into the water. My German was good enough to communicate with a girl who was too scared to swing in. I finally got her in and by the end of her turn, she had a big smile on her face. I even got my mom and her friend in too!
Below is a movie of us at the Heigelweiher rope swing. Check it out to put a smile on your face.
