The worldwide Augustana College experience
So it’s been a while. I know, I know. But I’ve been enjoying my last couple weeks in Germany! October 28 and 29 was spent in Dresden. Dr. Ellis took a group of us there for a day trip. Caitlin, Missie and I spent the night, so we could see what we didn’t get to [...]

September 30, 2011: Missie and I are in Salzburg! What should we do? Let’s go to the Mirabel Palace Gardens to start off our day. And here we are–there is a castle on a mountain! Let’s take a moment and stare in awe. There’s a castle in Salzburg? Unfathomable! Well, on the other hand, this [...]

This isn’t the update with the castle adventure (that’s currently in the works, so watch out for it!). However, this weekend has been more than interesting. It’s been absolutely bizarre.

I am back from Vienna, finally. Almost everything went wrong on Tuesday. First, the website gave me the wrong train information, so instead of the train going to Nürnberg, it was going to Frankfurt, and Nürnberg was not listed as a stop. So Mary, Missie and I hop on a train to Salzburg, hoping that [...]

So much has been happening. I have little time to blog! On Wednesday, I went to the Luther house here in Wittenberg. It was so amazing! I loved every minute of it. It was really neat to discover that I am about the same height that Luther was, and I’m Lutheran. My classmates thought that [...]

Friday was absolutely fantastic. We planned a day trip to Halle and Leipzig, Germany. Why? To go to a chocolate museum in Halle. And to go shopping/to the Bach Museum/ to an 800-year-old boys’ choir Motet in Leipzig. A day full of chocolate and music? It’s a dream come true!

Three days of classes have already passed. I am taking a Luther class, which looks at the historical aspects surrounding the Reformation. For example, today we learned of the three kingdoms Germany has had. 800-1806 was the first Reich. 1871-1918 was the second Reich. And 1933-1945 was the—you guessed it—the third Reich. How does this relate [...]
