I have finished with my three weeks of camp, which were very hectic, and included much stumbling around not knowing exactly what to do, but I think my students got better, and I managed to finish everything I had to. Now we are in Bonn, having gone to, and fallen asleep in, the House of History Museum, (We were very tired, having slept about four hours last night). In less than an hour, we will travel to Trier, and sleep at a friend's house, who we met at camp. Stay in Trier a day and half or so, then to Luxemborg, Belgium, etc. Then to Coburg on the 16th or 17th.

Finished with my training. Leaving tomorrow for camp in Cochem. Thinking about trying for another camp instead of going to Budapest music festival. I'll be in Cochem for the next three weeks. Cochem has wireless internet, apparently, but I am not sure I will be able to connect. Met plenty of great people at the training. It was fairly informative. I had to present a councilor lesson this morning, and didn't really have much of an idea until a few minutes before we started. But, that is what I had expected. I am quite tired, but expect to have a good night sleep tonight. Don't leave from Berlin Halptbahnhof until 11:48. Arrive in Cochem at 18:56, with two umsteigen (changes, connections).
  I have been around people with all kinds of English accents, and don't much hear them anymore, and I think my own English is deteriorating, and has become unstable. But I am having a good time, and mentally disconnected. As one can tell from my writing.
Anyhow, Good bye!

So, I have been off of crutches for a few days, and am now in the Berlity appartments. I began training today, and still expect everything to go fine. Most of the people seem quite friendly, and I have been engaged in several very interesting conversations. Not much else happened other than that.
We are thinking of going to a music festival in Hungary on the eleventh of August with the friends we have stayed with here in Berlin, but perhaps we will go elsewhere. But that is in mind.

Yesterday. Went to the outdoor concerts which are happening in Berlin. Heard some fine music. Began the trip to my cellar. Climbed the graveyard fence, and to avoid headlights, dropped to the otherside with my pack strapped on. Landed, heard/felt a pop in left ankle. Much pain. Climed back over the fence, (maybe eight foot?) and walked back to the transtation. Pain only when I walked. Called up some friends, who had offered me a place to stay, changed trains and busses, and arrived at their house around midnight. Decided to wait till next day. Took my first shower in more days than I care to relate. Became clean, slept the night, and awoke with a more swollen, much darker colored foot. Went to the hospital, waited several hours, was finally seen, X-rayed, etc. Bones were fine, tissue impacted, foot wrapped, lightly splinted, and so on. Walking around on German crutches for the next four or five days, taking it easy for the next couple of weeks. I don´t think it will interfere with my work for Berlitz. I am staying with my friends here currently. Feel kind of embarrased to go to the hospital for such a small thing. Hypocondriac.
On another note, I am hitting the Y when I want to, and not the Z every time. (which is because German keyboards have those backwards, in case I haven't said that)
