Essen to Geseke/Paderborn, Day 7

On Tuesday morning, we woke up at 7 o'clock because Mathias said that he would make us PANCAKES! What an awesome American breakfast to be offered in Germany! The pancakes were awesome, but we were still exhausted, so when Mathias left for work, we headed back upstairs back to bed! It felt great. We slept until about 11am, at which point we packed up our stuff, thanked Mr. and Mrs. Schroder, and headed out.
As always, staying at the Schroder's was awesome. They are really such nice people. Kate was lucky to befriend Mathias!
So we headed to Geseke, a small town where Eva lives near Paderborn, about 2 hours drive from Essen. When we finally found her exit, we found a McDonalds, which we decided would be the best spot to wait and meet Eva at. However, like always, Leanne couldn't contain herself and HAD to play on the playscape! So we took a movie.. :)
Eva finally came and led us to her house. She lives in this very cool second-story apartment in the house behind her parents' house. We dumped our stuff, and headed to the downtown area (very small, but cool) for a walk and to look for food. We finally stopped into a very cool little restaurant that served both Turkish and German food. I had something german that is meat smashed really thin, then fried. Schnitzel keeps coming to mind, but that might be completely off. After this, we headed back to Eva's to relax, drink some tea, and take some siestas. After a while of that, we went out to a bar in town for drinks. Eva brought us to this one bar in particular because it has darts, an old group favorite from Santander!
After a while there, we went home and all called it a night. The next day we had a big day of visiting Paderborn!
