After arriving at the teen hostile on the edge of Germany and unpacking our stuff my friends and I walked over to France! We ended up in the outskirts of Strassburg, which we were to tour the next day.
The park that we sat down in was beautiful but not as well kept up as the german side. While we were messing about in the grass a little by came up to us and started speaking in French. MY FIRST FRENCH PERSON!!! he understood no german or english but the girls from my class who had been taking French spoke to him. I think it's amazing who 50 meters of water can separate two languages.
We also saw a French model. No, seriously, there was a lady modeling in front of the brick wall that ran around the park.

The next day we all went in a bus to Strassburg and took a tour. The tour guide was german so I found the whole thing to be quite boring. But we got to go through the Cathedral Notre Dame, even though it was not the famous one in Paris. The houses are all very thin and tall and built right next to each other, the left wall of one is right wall of the next. That afternoon we went and walked around the European parliament. The building was super cool!

Day three had us driving for a hour to an eight hundred year old castle. We go to go all the way through it. It was made from stone and was built up on top of a hill so when standing on the tower wed had a view of 50 km.

Day four we went to the Disney Land of Europe. The theme park had a section for each country and the rides showed the speciality from it's host nation. We ran from Greece to Victoria Station in ten minutes!


Day 5 we drive the seven hours back to Melle. All in all, I liked the trip but prefer the absolute comradery of the St. Andrew Sal et Lux better.
