Fun in the Sun

Today we got up and went to the Xanten. We visited another cathedral there which was interesting and saw some cool local shops. Then we visited an old town which looked like a scene out of Gladiator. It was so cool. There was a temple like building and even a colliseum but not as big as "the Colliseum" in Rome. It was really fun to get to see all of that history. Then we went to a waterpark. Trevor, Leo, and I tried the waterskiing. It is nothing like waterskiing at home. You're not on a boat being dragged around the water but its on a lake and a cable system is hooked above yous so your pulled around the lake by a rope on skis but you still have to hold on. Man was I nervous because the guide couldn't speak very much english and I don't know enough german so the first time out.... let's just say this horse didn't make it out of the gate. The second attempt however was more promising. I never fully stood up but i was squatting on skis being drug around the lake. Trevor's first time was more successful than mine but his second attempt wasn't so good. Leo was an expert it seemed lapping us about 5 times before he fell off. After the park we came home and had a barbeque and Anneloes, Jeroen, and Jesse came over too. Then Tessi and I did an episode of Cribs 'European Style so i'll have to show everyone when i get home. Well ttfn ta ta for now.
