castle-day 3 (6/8/11)

I feel like such a loner right now. Everyone else is in the kitchen cooking and eating spaghetti, but I don't mind too much. I'm full, and to be honest, I'm not that close with anyone here, except maybe Sachin. For the most part, I'm just not that close to the McDs, plus I feel sometimes like they're very worldly and talk about perverse/awkward things...it makes me miss my family and my IV family. It is a struggle to go these two months without any fellowship, but I know God has and will continue to make me strong and teach me in that way.
Today, after lunch (delish! polenta and stuffed bell peppers), a few of us went down to Merano to run various errands. I went to try and find out about making a reservation for my trip to Interlaken, but he just told me to come back after several hours to talk to his colleague (who, by the way, didn't speak English either). We wandered around downtown Merano a bit, stopping for gelato, a sweatshirt and pillow for Ben, and groceries. That store had expensive fruit! After, we returned to the train station where the other worker just printed a few timetables for me before throwing up his hands in frustration...oops. Back in Dorf Tirol, we stopped for some groceries (I visited the fruit and veggies lady and got a couple of apples from her!), and I've been blogging and trying to book hostels for this weekend. Looks like I won't be going anywhere until Friday...
