day 21
today i woke up and made allot of pancakes about 5-6 and atte them with strawberry jelly. when went back to sleep for an hour then woke up and got my stuff and walked to the bus station. i saw abunch of the students there already so i waited with them eventually a guy walked up and hello to some of us and then a yellow bus pulled up and we all got on then we waited 15 minutes after we were supose to leave to the spanish and turkish people.(they are always late i find it insulting). then we drove through the mountains to rothenburg. i understand why people go profesional in cycling it is so they will close these roads down and they can ride ride down these hills. from what i could tell i could take the hair pins faster tan the buss did on my bike. when we got to rothenburg we split into two groups one with frau ritter (my teacher) and one with heir kurze (a friend of the institut) we walked around the city. it turns out we watched a video by rick steves about this city its the one were they have the glocken spiele with the mayor of the town drinking lots of wine to save the town from a war. also i saw a picture of rick steves in a window of a gift shop. then frau ritter had to go so we were able to go eat and explore the city for 3 - 5 hours. i went to the kings garten park place on the east side of the inner city and ate my rolls and drank some water while loking over the city wall at the mountains in the backgound was a man playing violin with a recording. and there were flowers growing almost every were. it was a very romantic scene. then i went to the torture museum.i used my studet id to save .40 cents. i was rather unimpressed with it since i had been told that it is such a great place. a quote out side said "man kind has never been so creative as when he thinks of ways to torture other humans" i don't think people realized that these torture devices are basically old farm equipment that has been modified. all the stuff there looked alot like the stuff in grampa alkemas garage. with some exceptions.
before i left the group i was talking to jose , whom had been there before. and he said that there was a bakerie down the street so after wards i walked down the street to get some cheap food and found a bakerie cafe. i waasn't comfortable with going in so i found a fast food place and got a schnitzel sandwhich. then i had half an hour before the group was supose to get back together at the town center which didn't give me much time to do any thing so i found a good spot and keeped an eye on the meeting place. when we did get back together there was a total of 5 of us. then i worked its way down to 3 we looked at a church and sruff then we walked on the outer wall then back to the bus. i considered going into the pupet and toy museum but from the sign it looked mostly like puppet and dolls so i decide not to do it.
then we drove back on the autobahn which was also anticlimatic. and wegot back and i went to the store and got some chocolate then made dinner and ate it. now the idiots are drunk and running around the table. micheal (who is ussually quit and reserved like me) is a crazy drunk (he is loud and moves around a lot) which only encourages the others.
i need ideas for food to take to munich and nurnburg
so it has to be cheap, easy to cook (if need be cooked at all), be able to last 5 days un refridgerated, be sterdy enough to be in a back pack for 5 days, and have lots of calories. so far i have come up with animal crackers, ramen, and cereal.thanks.
any way thats all for now.

I don't know what you like or what's available in your neck of the woods, but here are some ideas/suggestions --
instant oatmeal, beef jerky, apples, carrots, nuts, peanut butter, tuna in a pouch, instant soup, popcorn, raisins,
Graham crackers are good with peanut butter or cream cheese.
Cheese will last a day or two if packed in the center your backpack where it's a little insulated. Hard boiled eggs will also last for a bit.
Can you re-stock at a grocery store in munich or numburg - or is it crazy expensive??
P.S. I love the cookoo clock photo - - did you get to see them all go off at once????
i didn't go in the store this photo was in the window (its rick steves)
Anything with oatmeal will have the high calories you're looking for. . . .oatmeal cookies, granola, etc.
Peanut putter and honey makes an excellent sandwich - or you could go with jelly, but I don't know how long jelly would last (or just peanutbutter).
Also - bagels would hold up better than bread and would be good with most "sandwich things" or just on their own, or even with cream cheese for calories. Pita's would also hold up a little better than normal bread. and I think you said you've gotten those at some point.
cheese is good - if you get slices that are in wax paper that don't need as much refridgeration they would last a little while
Trail mix, depending on what is in it it may or may not have the calories, but it travels well regardless. You could even mix it up yourself with some nuts, raisins, cereal and/or chocolate or M&M's.
Granola bars, also good for traveling, but likely to have more calories, etc.
Potatoes would give you lots of carbs - great for energy, or other starchy vegies.
Other Ideas: Bananas, pears, apples, baby carrots, dried fruits, raisins, pretzels, smoked turkey or dried pork or beef / any jerky, any nuts, cheese, eggs, poultry, beans, . . . . thats all I've got for now, Jim's making fun of me for typing so much :-) he's a loser though
yeah jim is a loser .
thanks for the ideas
