I have done a lot of traveling over the past week! Friday, September 25th was the start of our group portion of the trip that began in Leipzig. Over the next few days we saw several places related to the Luther and Bach class we are taking back in Reutlingen. Kennth’s blog will include all of the details of the group trip, but on Wednesday morning Mackenzie, Jordan, Kelsey, and I went to Prague. It really is a beautiful city and very cheap too. At the restaurants we ate at beer was actually cheaper than a Coke or water of the same size! Finally, on Saturday the three of us took a day trip to Oktoberfest in Munich which was definitely an unforgettable experience!
It was a great time touring the Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, where Martin Luther hid for a period of time during the Reformation.

Later that day, we all toured the Bachhaus Museum where we had an opportunity to listen to several of Bach’s compositions in cool hanging chairs!

After the tour of the monastery most of the group (including Professor Hansen!) took a ride on the spinning pendulum ride at the Erfurt Oktoberfest. Everyone made it without getting sick!
While exploring Erfurt later in the day the group I was with came across this swingset on top of an old fortress. The views of the city and distant countryside were beautiful!
