Aloys had a full day traveling to Ulm and the Alps. He also climbed a waterfall there!

Katie Roberts and her German family traveled to France. They had a tour of the city and shopping.
I traveled to Strasbourg, France today as well with Vera, Helen, Nina, Vanessa and Anna. We first checked out the cathedral there and while we were there, we ran into Katie Roberts! We walked around the cathedral in amazement as we stood under the towers. Inside, the detailing of the cathedral was stunningly beautiful despite the damp smell. The stained glass windows depicting Bible stories were like none ever seen in America.
After all of this walking we were in dire need of sustenance. I mean, what teens do you know who wouldn't be starving? Finding an outdoor cafe under some umbrellas, we endured a rain storm as we appeased our hunger with some French Flammkuchen. This dish is similar to a thin crust pizza. Although, I opted for goat cheese and honey in mine so it was much sweeter. Sadly, with so much rain, we couldn't venture to the boat tours because they were closed. Instead, we took a "mini train" around the city learning about the history of some of the oldest buildings.
We ended our time in France with some shopping. Naturally stopping at a bakery to pick up a baguette -- okay, maybe two -- for the ride home. I am looking forward to school on Monday and hearing how others spent their weekend in Europe!
