4 Days In

Monday May 5 2008 12:01 Pm

Hello there it's Kevin here just to talk about your ''Problem''- just kidding, but I wanted to tell you what I did in the last few days. Let's start off with this: 3 days ago (Friday) I went to the Helfenstein in a town called Geislingen (my dad's hometown), which is a huge castle that is so old that it was built before Canada was discovered.(during the mid-evil time period)

Now for a quick history lesson: the Helfenstein was built to battle against Ulm (a big city) and they shot cannonballs at each other, and one of the cannonballs hit the Helfenstein and to this day almost 600 years later the cannonball is still in the wall. ( I saw it myself) But for some reason there is no sign marking the spot.

When we (My cousins, Parents, and I) started to leave my dad and I bet the others that we could beat them down the mountain A.K.A the hill that the castle is perched on. They would take the car and we would walk down... we beat them because we went straight down, but the road that the cars have to go on curve right then left then right etc. any ways the point is that my dad and I beat them to the train station at the base of the mountain.

The reason that we met there is that we had to pick up my Uncle Benny who is currently on holidays from his university in the city called ''Worms'' the oldest city in Germany. He stayed for a day and left.

The next day we went on a picnic at the ''Ocean Of Stones''; a hiking trail littered with huge chunks of rocks, and I climbed up a 40 foot cliff that there was. I'll post the photo of me on top on the sidebar. On Sunday my Uncle Mario and my cousin Justin came and we went mini golfing.
