Okay folks, here's my two cents.

Today was church day a.k.a. Sunday so we went to an African American service in order to experience a new way of worshipping. Unfortunately, our group had to leave after just one hour which really was a pity. I do not know about the rest of us but for me it was more than just a 'cultural' experience...people in church were all excited and joyful - cheering, laughing and singing throughout the whole time. This is what worship should always be like! I feel that many churches in Germany (and also some of the white churches in the USA as far as I've had people tell me about them) could definitely take a leaf out of this community's book.

After church, David drove us to a University baseball game. Belmont played the Jacksonville Dolphins and beat them 6:5. Even though there weren't many people at the stadium, the spirit was excellent due to a very exciting game and a range of junk food offers that most likely let everyone's level of blood sugar explode. However, the wheather was awesome with the sun shining so bright that if I now happened to be bumping into General Custer, he would undoubtedly shoot me on account of my red face straight away.

Just before the game, Adina and I went up to Fort Negley which was just nearby. Even though there's not much left of what the Union army built during the Civil War, it was an interesting historical site to visit.

Tonight, the Dresden group is going to meet up with some Belmont students at the German house in order to have some sort of cook out. I'll better be going...
