Munich

I could be happy just staying in the hotel room relaxing for the rest of the trip, I am still not feeling that well. Usually I can grin and bear it pretty well in the comforts of my own city, but this is straight-up agony. I have still four more nights until I am home, sadly I am looking forward to it, a lot. I haven't had a meal or a cup of coffee that I could enjoy since.. I don't know when. I realized today I have been sick like this since November of 2009, too long.

Today:

-I stood on the same steps where Adolf Hitler gave his many speeches to his followers. I had a strange sensation up the back of my neck as I looked out on the square that would have been filled by hundreds of people believing everyword he said.

-My dad is so good at embarrassing me; he will not hesitate to go out of his way to introduce me to any man that he thinks I might be interested in (whether I like it or not, I am meeting this man). Today a man came over and told me that I was beautiful, whatever, whatever and asked me if I wanted to join him and he friends, not a second passes and my dad chimes in, "Yes, of course she does, don't you honney?" Which puts in me an awful place when I decline his offer to join him and his friends. So I joined the men for a drink while my mom and dad laughed about it.. talk about an awkward situation.

-I also made the mistake of telling my dad that my next boyfriend would be the clean-cut-tie-wearing-collared-shirt type and that I shouldn't settle for anything less. I was thinking this plan would make my dad ease up with ponning me off on just any random man however, my mom steps up with the "I bet the man sitting next to you wears a tie." When will this new phase pass? I must have an expiration date...

Tomorrow:

-I am thinking about going to see a concentration camp. I've heard this one is really big and I know that it will give me a heavy heart, but I am thinking it is essential. It was a work camp, so no gas chambers but still..not pleasant.

-I plan to not be sick.
