Some German Adventures....

Starbucks in Germany where I did some blogging
















So sorry everyone who was keeping up on my blog. I kind of fell off the face of the earth, and never shared any stories from the last half of my trip. Now I am traveling again, but in the States, for my summer job… we are somewhere around Kansas City. Sorry about that.

So now I have to figure out where I left off. Somewhere in Prague. After we left Prague, it was time to head to Germany. This is where we stayed at the  Haus der Musik und Begegnut, or something like that. Essentially, it is a big house where people can come stay. They often host choirs or other sort of touring groups. It was great, all the room names were musicians. Everyone was so kind and welcoming! They had food prepared for us late at night when we arrived.
It was quite nice.







The next morning, we did a church service at the church of Hans Gerhalt - the one who runs the haus we were staying at. We also had a concert there that evening, and in the afternoon was sleep and rest time. I definitely passed out.
Sightseeing in "Rothenburg"
Church in Rothenburg
The next day, we had a sightseeing tour in a nearby village, and a concert at another church. Our whole time in this area was so great because everyone was so hospitable, making sure all our needs were taken care of, feeding us wonderful food, and having some great conversations with us. It was great seeing these people interact with Dr. Walter's as they were all such great friends.

On our sightseeing tour we went to Roteburg, where we saw a lot of historic sights. There was a "castle gate" that used to be a drawbridge. It was probably one of my favorite things I saw.
