Freiburg Part 4

April 3rd - 10:48am on the train to Aachen

Cologne is a much more impressive city than Frankfurt. Finally I get to see a cathedral better than the one in Freiburg. Yesterday we visited the National Socialist Documentation center before going inside of the Dom. Later an irish fellow followed us to a very good German resturant.
then we stoped by the chocolate museum

Went to a nearby shooter bar later that night

April 5th, Sunday - 10:26pm - Hotel in Cologne

Happy Easter! This morning Mike and I went to the Dom to watch the Easter service before getting breakfast and heading to the local Roman/Germanic museum. Then we stopped back by the Frueh brewrey for lunch. I took a nap then we set out to get a pizza. Really just waiting for Joanne to get here s we have run out of things to do.

Yesterday we went to Dusseldorf. Not a bad city. They have a nice park and string of cafes along the Rhein we had a nice lunch at the Fuechschen Alt brewrey after going up into the tower to get a view of the city.

They day before that, we went to Aachen. The city was nice and the cathedral was breath taking. Might be one of the most impressive I have seen. Unfortunatly it was Good Friday and the old Rathaus and Schatzkammer were both closed for the day. Had a good Italian lunch before heading back to Cologne.

April 11th - 1:23pm - Room in StuSie

Mike and I spelt in on Easter Monday (which is apparently a thing in Europe). We met Joanne at the Hauptbahnhof before walking her back to the hostel to drop off her things. Then we went back to the Frueh brewrey for lunch. The rest of the day we walked around and spent most of the evening in the hostel.

Tueday, April 7th, we got up early and had breakfast on the way back to the bus stop. After boredom resulted in a humerus sketching of things with my colored pens and getting lost due to faulty directions on the part of the hostel website, the three of us headed into Amsterdam for the first time. A decently long tram ride put us near the city center. It really was an awesome city. One could, and indeed we did, spent a lot of the time simply walking around and looking at the buildings and people. I highly reccomend visiting there sometime.

However, our good time was spoiled by Joannes disappearing wallet. Other than that and a string of other minorly unfortunate events, we really enjoyed the city.

Yesterday we spent a good 10 hours on the bus heading from Amsterdam to Freiburg. Luckily we stopped in Koeln for a short time and visited the brewrey yet again for lunch. (It was really good if you hadn't figured that out)

We arrived back just before midnight. It seemed like more and more people are showing up here at the Stusie, which is exciting.

April 22 - Stusie apartment

It has been a while since I last wrote anything down and a lot has happened. We had our first group grill session and have had two visits to the Stusiebar. A girl from Baylor randomly showed up in Freiburg so I gave her and her friends a little tour of the city before returning to Andy's apartment for Game of Thrones and Italian food.

I'll write about my classes in the next section.
