Today was a tour of the beautiful town of Heidelberg. We took a 15-minute train to Heidelberg, and it is an absolutely gorgeous place! We walked along the cobblestone streets up to the Heidelberg Schloß, a huge castle at the top of a hill. The ramp to get up was very steep, but we finally made it and had a great view of the land. Our little group paid a little extra to go even farther up in the castle, and it was definitely worth it to see some exhibits and some special views. After the trek, we were hungry so we stopped in a little restaurant for some bratwurst und pommes. Since it was Sunday, most of the regular shops were closed. It was also raining, but we had nowhere to be, so we took the streetcar back to Mannheim. It was about a 40-minute trip, but we were able to see some scenery and the area where we will be living! We didn't do too much else during the day, since we were all tired from the long weekend. Tomorrow we begin class and speaking German all the time, so it will definitely be becoming more intense. So far, I've been having a great time with my classmates and some new friends, and taking lots of pictures! I have also found out my interaction group- I will be with Giselle and one of my new friends Joey, in a group with our leader Wolf. I've met Wolf at our first dinner, and I'm know that we're going to have a great group, so I'm really excited. I'll keep you updated!
Morgen abends haben wir ein "Grillout" mit den Interaction Leaders. Wir müssen nur die Getränke bringen. Ich freue mich darauf! Unser Unterricht beginnt um 9 Uhr. Ich hoffe, dass ich mich meinen Deutsch erinnern.
