Last week I, along with the other students in my language class, travelled to the small mountain town of Blaubeuren to spend a week at the Heinrich-Fabri Institute owned by the University of Tuebingen. It was truely a phenomenal week. The days were full of hanging out with new friends, practicing German, and exploring the new area. While we were there I literally climbed a mountain a day. Granted, they weren't exceptionally high, but one of the other students and I had the conversation about whether they were small mountains or very large hills. Mountain was the unanimous decision. The entire time we were there the weather was beautiful. A little bit cloudy in the mornings but all the afternoons were bright and sunny, something that has been quite rare so far.
One day we tood an excursion to Ulm. We did a small tour of the city with our class and then we had the rest of the night to ourselves. The church in Ulm has the world's tallest church tower. There are 768 steps that you can climb to get to the top. On a good day, you can see all the way to the Alps. It was a good day. The city of Ulm is situated on the Donau and the Donau is the border between Baden Wurttemberg and Bayern. Naturally, I went over to Bayern for no other reason than to say that I did.
The time in Blaubeuren was truely a lot of fun, it was nice to have the opportunity to get to know the people in my class a little more. For instance, I learned that my tutorin, Pia, can juggle and we did little bits of juggling together all week. Then she turned juggling into a grammar game and I lost intrest.
Hope you enjoy the pictures from Blaubeuren.
