BONN, GERMANY

So I realized that in all my posts about traveling all over Europe, I forgot to include my favorite place by FAR...........BONN :)
BONN has been my home away from home. I have included some pictures of the best host family anyone could ask for, some of my study abroad group, and miscellaneous things around Bonn. I am going to miss this place with all my heart.

So this is the Billen Family!!
It consists of Gerd, Irmgard, Ruth (17), and Paula (13), myself and my roommate Deasia...oh and our dog Ben. My oldest sister Clara is off at school in Berlin so I did not get to see her as often. They are the perfect example of a loving family. We ate dinner ever night together, went on hikes, and just spent quality time together all around. I will miss them like no other!

This is Ruth....

Irmgard aka My Idol


The fam minus Ruth and Clara


Paula


This is my street sign, my bus stop, my bus that I took everyday! I will never forget all the bus times I had to memorize!





These are some pictures of my study abroad group from our farewell party and just hanging out at school and around Bonn. These people have seriously become some of my best friends. I assumed I would make friends on this trip but I didn't think I would leave getting to know 25 of the coolest people ever. They really made my experience extraordinary.





This is parts of Bonn that I love and things that stuck out to me...
