We had breakfast, late with Alix and then walked to the Hauptbahnhof to catch our train to Saarlouis, where our friend Marie Josee is living and working as an Aupair. We are to stay with them for the next week. At first we thought we were to take a bus from Saarbrücken to Saarlouis. But we Soon found out that only a train goes there. The train to Saarlouis left 5 minutes after we walked into the station. This really kind woman helped us figure out how to purchace a ticket from the machine. We just made it onto the train with no time to spare. Saarlouis is a pretty small Town. Once there, we purchaced a phone card and tried to contact MJ. No luck. So we waited around the train station calling every few minutes. By 4:20 They were still not home. Caleb(through Trial and error and asking questions) figured out that we were Missing a 0 from the number and finally got through. So she gave us directions and told us what bus to take. MJ was waiting at the final stop to take us to her Aupair family’s house. We were so Happy to see MJ and Meet Johanna and Anne and be in a real home. It is like a 4 star hotel to us after Hostelling , Camping, and traveling in General. They live in a beautiful house and their Backyard is basicly the Woods and a gorgeous field. It is so nice here.
