Regensburg and the park

Saturday we went to Regensburg  which had alot of churches on each block  and there were different kinds of architectures in each church.  Gothic architecture was used in most of the churches. After that we went on a bridge called Sternerbrucke which had pontoons which held the bridge up. It was on the Danube river. On Sunday we went to 2 beer gardens because it was 64 degress out and it was beautiful. One problem was that it was packed and every table was filled with people and every line to get drinks and foods was horrifying.  It was a beautiful day but next time I think we need to get to the beer gardens earlier to get the food and tables.  My brother invented a mud slide on one of the hills and I couldn't stand not to try it. We had to take really long baths! I want to do that again. Au Revoir!

Dachau and Ulm

On Monday we went to Dachau where the Nazis were a long time ago but we did not go to that part of Dachau. We went to see a castle and churches in the very pretty town. The castle was not open - only the restaurant part was. The church we went to was very big and had mini heaters for when it got cold. Wednesday we went to Ulm. Not to the new Ulm but the old Ulm where I saw the biggest church I've ever seen. It was called the Ulm catherdral. For a little while we sat on the stairs of the Danube river in Ulm where the swans came and asked us for food. After that we went to go see the most tipped over hotel ever but we when we found it it was not tipped alot at all. Something my family was going to do for a long time was visit the bread mueseum which showed what bread was made from and what salt was made from. Some time I want to go back and visit there because it was very nice.

Herrsching

On Sunday my family and I went to Herrsching only 40 min on the s-bahn. We saw churches and the Ampersee, a really big lake with really clear water. The weather was great and we got very good ice cream. Also  after the ride back on the s-bahn we found a very good English church. Finally we found a  church where they speak English. It wasn't that big but there was still enough room for everyone. Today was a short day but I liked it. 

Deutsches Museum

Yesterday we went to the  Deutsches Museum just a couple stops away on the S-bahn. Let me just say it was the best museum yet.  They had all these air planes from big to small. The exhibit had air planes cut in half to show when you fly what is under you and over you.  The also have a kid palace to play with crazy experiments and learn things too.  In the palace they have a wheel you go in and run as fast as you can to make the huge buckets of rocks come off the ground. I like it there a lot and we did not see all of it but I hope we go back and see the rest. 

Nurnberg

This weekend we went to Nurnberg  where the best sausages are supposed to be and to me I think they are. Nurnberg is also known for gingerbread. They make it different shapes, like a bear and different kinds. They also hang them up for good luck. The ones that are hard are really hard but the other cookies are soft.  My dad's work friend came with us and he knew a lot about Nurnberg. Something I saw that was exciting was the first mini-van I ever saw in Germany. I was so surprised. We all so saw a gold sculpture fountain which has a lucky ring on it which is good luck if you touch it so we climbed the fenced and we touched it. It was a lot of fun. We also saw churches  which were huge and one was made for girls only. We also went to the toy museum and saw a lot of different kinds of toys including paper toys. They also had kitchen sets that were used to help little girls learn how to be wives.  I hope we go back sometime.

Welcome to PARIS!

Today is Monday and Friday to Sunday my family and I were in fashion city which is Paris. Ordering from the menu was hard but when we finally got to see the sights I thought Paris was amazing. Getting to all these places was tough because there were alot of people pushing and being rude but that is somthing else Paris is known for. We started sightseeing Saturday. The 1st thing we went to was the Louvre. A very famous museum that has the real Mona Lisa. When we 1st saw it there were guards and alot of people. It was amazing how people loved this picture alot even though it was small. After the Louvre we went to go see the Montmarte and Notre Dame. To get to the top of the big hill(which is Montmarte) was alot of work. At the very top there is a church called the Sacre Coer. Think about going there every Sunday! Coming out of the church walking back to Notre Dame the bells rang and the Eiffel tower sparkled. It was beautiful . Then we went to the Notre Dame we were going to climb all the way to the top but the line twirled around the church -It was the longest line I ever saw.Now Sunday was a special day. One of the reasons we went to Paris for the weekend is because it was my sister's birthday and she wanted her birthday here. First thing we did was go to the Eiffel tower and all the way to the top. The only problem was how cold it was. Everyone was freezing. Even though the sights were bueatiful it was a long wait for the elevator. After that we were going to go to another famous museum but the line was very long. It was a nice visit but I think I don't want to go back too soon.
