Church and Austria

Today we had church pretty much all in German. I had a hard time staying awake. Haha. I started to play some games so I could keep myself awake. I didn’t get a whole lot out of it.

After church we were free for lunch and then we headed to Austria! It was the most beautiful place I have ever been. I fell in love with a place called Achensee. I want to go back. I loved it. It had the prettiest lake the color of Bear Lake but mountainous and green and perfectly perfect. It was incredible. I was so happy. My heart broke when we drove away. 

We then went to a town called Brixen im thale where we ate at a little restaurant that Patrick took us to. We had Schnitzel and fries. It was actually pretty good. I enjoyed it. We also got a salad. Schnitzel is breaded pork. It soothed my spirits after leaving Achensee.

The bus ride back was pretty exciting. We played the ipod game which was pretty fun. And then we had a silent dance party and then a real dance party. And then we sang songs about Do. It was so funny. We were laughing our heads off. My stomach was hurting from laughing. It was great.

I had a good day. I am tired. I think I might sleep in tomorrow. J

Luxembourg

We were in Luxembourg for a very brief time, but it was great. It is a classy place-land of the rich. It was really nice. I thought our business visit at the Bank was really interesting.

Our hotel was way great. We each had our own queen bed, which was soo nice. Breakfast in the morning was incredible. They had crepes and all kinds of croissants (chocolate included) and scrambled eggs! I ate so much. The scrambled eggs were amazing. Until then I had only seen hard boiled eggs. And pretty much the only protein I get is cheese.

In Luxembourg we spent the evening making a music video to celebrate the Fourth of July. It was pretty funny.

After Luxembourg we went to Cologne where we visited with Alsco, and then went downtown to see the Cologne Cathedral and eat Turkish food. The food wasn’t my favorite. We did a little shopping. I would have had a lot of fun shopping there if I weren’t with people who didn’t like shopping. And if I had a little more money J

Sunday in Paris

Sunday was very full and very good. We went to church, which was mostly in French and then had lunch as a group. After, the group went to this deportation memorial that was for the Holocaust.

A group of us then went to Saint Chapelle. It was this little cathedral with the most amazing stained glass!

We stayed over in Cologne and this morning we checked out and drove through Rhine Valley. It is absolutely gorgeous. We took a boat ride on the Rhine River and it was so fun. I would like to get a summer home in Rhine Valley and stay right on the river. It is sooo green and pretty. There are just random castles and old churches and buildings. It is way neat. I am loving it. We are now on our way to Heidelberg.
