Weekend in Heidelberg and Cologne

This past weekend we had a fun filled and eventful excursion to Heidelberg and Cologne (or Köln to the Germans). We started out Friday morning (August 10), took the train to Heidelberg, spent some of the day there and traveled to our next destination of Cologne Friday night. We stayed in Cologne for Saturday where we had fun discovering the town for all it was worth. That included seeing the Dom. By Sunday night we were back in the Teerhof feeling good about all the adventures we had that weekend.

Well folks it’s august, and two more events have taken place which are worth noting. On Wednesday, August 1, 2007, we went on a tour to Airbus. Our friendly tour guide was a retired Airbus employee who has been called back to duty. We got to see two different hangers. On Saturday, August 4, 2007, we all headed up North to Bremerhaven to see the Emigration Museam, or in German Das Auswanderunghaus Museam. On the 1.5 hour tour we learned what emigrants from Europe had to go through to get to America.

Berlin and Wittenberg

Last week our group had a short week of class, ending on Wednesday so that we could head to Berlin on Thursday morning. (As you might imagine, all of us students were quite broken up about this.) We meet on Thursday morning at 8:30 and headed over to the Hauptbahnhof (the main train station) to catch a 9:15 train to Hannover. In Hannover we transferred onto a train to Berlin. Unfortunately, the train we took to Berlin was incredibly crowded (due to another train that had come in late) and everyone in our group ended up without seats the whole ride! Needless to say, we were relieved to get to Berlin and settle into our hotel.

The voice of Tim will now narrate an introduction to our Mercedes Benz tour (see movie below). Further details concerning our trip are found in the extended text. I recommend it.
