Hallo!
Today we spent the day in Strasbourg, France. This morning we met at school and then boarded a small bus. It took about 2 hours to get to Strasbourg, but the drive was pretty. Once we arrived in Strasbourg, all of us went to see a church. The church was very old, but gorgeous. We explored the huge church for a while then made plans for what we would do in the next 2 hours. Sophia met up with her French family and spent the day catching up with them. The rest of us split up into smaller groups. My group first went to Mcdonalds because Garion was craving a burger. After Garion got his two burgers, we went to a little cafe next door for some lunch. After lunch, I went shopping with Katja, Carly and Angelina. We walked around the city of Strasbourg and went into a few shops along the way. Then we went back to meet up with the entire group to decide what we would do next. The group walked more around Strasbourg together. Along our way to the water, we walked through the main square. In the square a group of people stood in a circle and sang the banana song (form banana, form form banana, peel banana, peel peel banana, mash banana, mash mash banana, go bananas, go go bananas). Watching them dance was hilarious, and it made my day. After walking around for a while, we split up into 2 smaller groups again. My group explored the city more and then sat on a bench in the sun. We talked about Andy Milonakis and threw sausage to the ducks in the water. The other group went to a park and watched funny french kids sing. Then all of us met up again and we went to get ice cream. Keaton and Carly both got to use their French. Keaton even helped a French man avoid getting a parking ticket. We tried to climb to the top of the church tower, but we didnt have enough time, so we headed for the bus to depart back to Stuttgart. It was a really long day and everyone was exhausted by the time we got back to Stuttgart, but it was really fun. The city of Strasbourg was adorable!
Gute Nacht!
