Wow. Some how three weeks have passed and it's already time to say goodbye to nutella with every meal. Before reflecting on the whole trip, I'm sure everyone wants to know what we've been up to since Thursday.
Friday was an unplanned day, but a lot of us embarked on a journey to the Bodensee, the biggest lake in Germay, bordering Switzerland. Though it took three hours to get there, changing trains several times and sleeping throughout, the journey was well worth as we set our eyes upon the bright blue waters of the lake. As we arrived at the beach, more of a grass park as there is no sand, we staked out an area to spread our towels and relax. We enjoyed spending a few hours just hanging out, talking and soaking in the sun (it was about 90 degrees and full sun). After swimming, eating some ice cream, and playing life size chess, we headed back home. Others spent the day by going to an amusement park or even enjoying a baby shower.
Saturday was another unplanned day. I think it's safe to say that just about everyone enjoyed sleeping in before going out. A few of us headed in to Stuttgart for a few hours, shopping for scarves and ducking for cover from the rain. Others enjoyed a day in a town in France, some shopping in another town, and a classical music concert.
Today is also a mostly free day. Tonight we will have a grill party at the school, giving us one more chance to hang out and enjoy Germany.
So. Three weeks. I think I should start by thanking Frau Fraser for organizing an amazing trip, from day one to tomorrow. I don't know who else could have put together such a cool trip. Also, thanks to Mr. Meyer. We have all enjoyed extending junior year to get more time with him, and the time he has put in to making sure we are all okay is very appreciated.
Looking through pictures I couldn't believe everything we've done, from the frauenkirche to the Olympic Stadium, to Tübingen. Not only have we all had an incredible experience, for which we must thank you parents as well, but we have also gotten to know each other much better and grow closer as a class.
While we are happy to come home, we will definitely miss the beautiful country of Deutschland.
Well, it's lunch time, so I have to cut this a little short---One more day!!!!
