This weekend helped continue the trend of never having a dull moment this semester! On Friday a few of us hiked up to a castle less than a half hour bus ride from campus. While some told us it was a 2-hour hike just to get up, Jon and I made it in about 45 minutes and down in 20! It turns out they actually meant it was 2 hours there and back, but we still made really good time! While there we went on a tour inside the castle (unfortunately no photos were allowed) which was in extremely good condition and took in the beautiful fall scenery.
On Saturday, Mackenzie, Jordan, and I traveled to Strasbourg, France. It is right on the Germany-France border so not too far away for a day trip. We saw a beautiful cathedral, a street show downtown, Petite France (a small town area on an island in the city), and drank some freshly squeezed grape juice at a wine festival.
A group of us hiked to the top of the Liechtenstein Castle only a half hour away from campus! The fall colors were beautiful!
