The first part of our day was spent, once again, at school. As I have heard frequently pointed out, there's something wrong about attending a facility of learning during our spring break, but I guess it's really just all about the experience. Everybody gave their presentation today at least once, and I learned how adorable our president was as a child.

Anyway, at about 1:45, we departed for the Mercedes-Benz Museum. The building itself looked incredibally modern, and the interior was no different. The elevaters which took us to the top of the building (and the beginning of the museum) were like futuristic travel pods. Anna said they looked like something from The Day the Earth Stood Still, but I wouldn't know. The change from this space-aged setting to the earliest motor vehicles was a little surprising. It was fascinating to see examples of the earliest cars. The rest of the museum didn't dissapoint either. In addition to displaying Mercedes cars through the ages, there were also little exhibits providing some information about the times during which the cars were made. I saw exhibits which were even more descriptive than some history books. I loved how the museum also discussed the influence of certain major events on the Mercedes -Benz company. I'm not particularly interested in cars, but I still found the museum fascinating. The Merceded-Benz Museum is definitely not just a museum for German automobile lovers. It has something for every interest, and incorporates it into the history of the company. It was a truly fascinating museum, and I would recommend it to almost everybody, regardless of his or her interest in cars alone. So, that's my brief overview of our day, both at school and at the museum.
