What a night....

So, last night we got all dressed up to hang out at a winery with some of our friends. We scurried to the tram thinking we knew exactly where we were going. 15 minutes later we realized we were back to where we had started, we had been talking so much that we totally missed our stop. So, we rode it again till we got to the right place, then jumped on another tram for the last leg of our trip. Well, this tram ended up going up a huge mountain and we realized that we were going the wrong direction. So, I called my friend and told him to not leave the resturant, because when the tram stopped we would go off and get on the right tram. Well, it didnt stop until it was at the very top of the mountain. As, we stepped off the tram we realized that there was a huge festival going on. A lady figured that we were lost and told us that we might as well stay because fireworks were about to start any moment. So we did and soon found out that we had stumbeled on to a once a year wine festival. I called the guys and told them to not wait for us because we were going to stay there. We bought wine glasses and walked around to all the booths for wine tasting. It was the best wrong turn ever. After the fireworks, we realize it is only 10 and that might as well meet up with the guys downtown since they were nice and had been waiting on us, and then we kind of ditched them. So we jumped back on the tram we had come up on and headed for the 1st district. From there we went to a carnival where the oldest fairist wheel stands. It ended up being a blast, we all walked around and looked at all the fun attractions and then went to a cute resturant to sit and talk before heading home. Today, we all woke up late and made pasta with pesto (would you expect anything else), and did our German homework. I think tonight we are going to try to go to a film festival because it is the last night. Who knows though... we seem to have a hard time of figuring out how to get to places. We for sure still have some learning to do :)
