Halle und so weiter

So it's been a while since I posted but I've been so busy. Last weekend we had class on Saturday morning which was not fun. However in the afternoon we had a scavenger hunt around Erfurt which was so much fun. I took lots of pictures and we had to answer questions in German about the city.

So then on Sunday we met at the Uni sign at the front of the school and took the tram to Hauptbahnhof. From there we took a train and then a bus to Halle. Halle was so much fun. I took like 120 pictures so I won't post them here because it's too hard to choose just a few. We started at the chocolate factory where there was a museum and we were able to sample chocolate.

After the chocolate factory we explored Halle a little. We tried to get into a church but it was closed so we explored more and found a fortress. It was amazing and beautiful. My camera died while we were on our way so I had to use Matthew's camera. After the fortress we made it back to the church which was beautiful but then we had to try and catch our train. We ran and almost missed it but luckily everyone made it. I barely made it though because I can't run at all!

That night I had a very European dinner. It was late and long and relaxed and there was free wine! We went back to Roma the Italian restaurant in Anger. It was delicious and so chill to just hang out in a restaurant for a few hours and relax after Halle.

The next day I was so tired from Halle but I went to class. This week we have gone out but also tried to catch up on sleep in between. In class we did presentations about our Heimatstadt or hometown. I talked about the breweries in Milwaukee but they were all interesting. Tonight we're going to try to do karaoke again. My language class is essentially over but I have a test on Wednesday but no class on Monday or Tuesday. This weekend we are decorating eggs for Easter and stuff too which should be fun. I love being in Germany and I am having so much fun.
