So last weekend I hopped on the train to Neuchatel where Shoshana lives because of the wine festival taking place that weekend. She met up with me at the train stop and we walked back to her place, got ready, and left for the evening. We got there and there were thousands of people just standing in the streets. There was vendor after vendor, selling scarves, trinkets, and there were tons of food vendors. Shosh and I each got a drink and walked around for a bit. We then came across a little Mexican stand with all types of drinks. The crazy guy working there saw us and summoned us over, he gave us a free drink in exchange for a picture, which was fine with us because then we did not have to pay. We walked a lot and began seeing people with coconuts, we found a stand that was selling coconuts with alcohol in them. Shoshana and I think he mistakenly put all the alcohol that was supposed to go in hers, in mine. Here we met some crazy Europeans who just wanted to take pictures with us, and then began doing there best American accent. They wanted to 'hang out' but we quickly moved on.
As we walked further down we saw this huge lit up stage/bar stand and there were a ton of people dancing. They played all American songs, so there were just a ton of drunk Swiss people around us slurring their own version of Summer Lovin' from Grease. We had a few drinks afterwards and even went back to the Mexican stand. We had been there for like four hours so we decided to leave. As we were trying to make our way through the mobs of people, we met some friendly guys drinking wine and who spoke English. We hung out with them for a bit and exchanged numbers. We each had a glass of wine, which was our first that night, which was suprising because it was a Wine Festival. I do not remember much of the walk or the tram home, but Shoshana said a goup of French people were laughing at me. Hmm great.
We slept in the next morning, went back to the wine festival for some lunch, came back, napped, went out again to the wine festival late that night. It was not as much fun because we were not really in the mood, but it was fun to walk around for a bit. We went home, watched The Office and went to sleep. I left later the next day. Shoshana's family was a bit weird, they were not very friendly so Shoshana and I just kept to ourselves.

It's funny because I made a comment to you about drinking before I read any of your blogs and you responded by saying that you were not drinking much.
Now I read YOUR BLOG, and over half of it is about drinking. Silly girl be safe and be careful about people bringing you drinks, buying them is one thing but you don't want to get drugged. It happens everyday you know.
I know I know, thanks big brother. I actually wasn't drinking at all when I first got here. But now I have made a lot of new friends and we are having a good time. Be happy for me.
