Quedlingburg

Today (yesterday) we went on an excursion into Quedlingburg. We had to get up at 6 am in order to get to breakfast at 6:45 we went into town by public transportation and went to the school. We then had a guided tour by students from the school. We saw a legit castle and the grave of King Henry I father of King Otto I. After the guided tour I got strawberry and pineapple ice cream then crammed 65 people on a bus meant for like 40. Overall Quedlingburg was super cool and I might go back in freetime because we can.

The last week

This Photo is old but I didnt post it earlier. Over the course of this week me and 3 other exchange students put a birds back in its nest, got pizza (finally), and I got to rude in a firetruck with the Hedersleben Feuerwher. A group of us got to shoot the hose which sprays sechzig meter. There have been no excursions this week but there have been a lot of fun things in class like baking kuchen and going for a walk around town and naming all of the plants in german.

Leipzig

Leipzig war sehr schön. We visited the Nikolai Kirche and the St Thomas Kirche where J.S. Bach played and is buried. We also visited the DDR museum in Leipzig and I saw a bass for an east german rock band and a russian Jethro Tull album. There was also exhibits about the reunification of the country in 1989. After that we went back to the Bach museum and saw original scores and his house as well as listened to a bunch of his music.

Magdeburg

Yesterday we visited the capitol of Sachsen-Anhalt, Magdeburg. We took a tour of the capitol building and also visited the Magdeburger Dom. Then we took a boat tour of the Elbe. Today I tried mushroom soup and tomato sauce on my pasta and both were exceptionally good. I also played soccer/fussball with the other exchange students and a bunch of German people at the soccer field in Hedersleben. I haven't figured out how to post pictures and haven't had a steady enough internet connection to do so, but when I do I will post all of the beautiful(ish) photos that I took of Magdeburg and Hedersleben.

Hedersleben

Three days ago we arrived in Hedersleben in the state of Sachsen-Anhalt Very tired from two days of travelling. We had short classes when we got here then went straight to bed. The food is fantastic the small town scenery is wonderful and the old monastery that we are staying in is very reminiscent of Hogwarts.

Going away

I left the colorado springs airport yesterday at 6:00 am and flew all day. Today im in Washington D.C. with the other flag students and it's a ton of fun.
