Germany, Week 1

13 06 2008

So, I’m here in Germany having a blast!  I’ve gotten a little behind in updating the blog lately, but I’m catching up.  Here’s a few pictures from the first week.  Or just go here to check out all my pictures as I upload them.

Heres a normal street in Frankfurt. We were there for a short time between our flight and our train leaving.

Just a normal street

A statue of Goethe in Leipzig where I am staying. This was in the “down town” section. The buildings are all amazing.

Johann Wolfgang Goethe

This was in Berlin. A great view over the Jewish Holocaust memorial, and you can see the Reichstag building in the background.

In Berlin we got to eat at the most famous Curry Wurst stand in Germany. It was pretty awesome.

So good!!

This is the Berlin Dome Church. I really can’t thing of the words to explain how beautiful the inside was. The amount of history that the crypt held was quite insane!

Just a bit of silliness as we were walking back to the train station in Berlin.

Bycicle Lane


On Saturday we got to go to Wittenburg during the festival of the celebration of Luthor’s marriage. Lots of history there. Luthor is the guy that started the whole Protestant reformation by nailing a thesis he had written (the 95 Thesis) to the church door. This is a picture of that door, or at least the door way with the thesis on it.

The 95 Thesis

Then on Sunday a few of us got to go to the Porshe factory in Leipzig. They make the Cayennes here. (the SUV’s) Yea, it was awesome.

In my dreams
