Tuesday's Day Off Adventure


Yesterday we had a day off between the two training segments. This gave us an opportunity to explore the area. Rob, a fellow student from the USA, has a car for four Americans piled in and traveled around the area with two another cars, almost half of the people in the training!

We were heading for a local castle but instead we got lost and wound up going along a lake that surprisingly was not frozen. The color of the water was incredible and it reflected the mountains around it - very beautiful. Then we went on to Franz Marc's home and museum of he paintings. He is famous for the Blue Horse, which wasn't there, but his donkeys were wonderful!

From there we traveled back home. Tina, my roommate and I went for hot chocolate and to find some groceries. Instead we found Tina a wonderful hat. There are many hat shops here in Bad Tolz as well as beautiful traditional Bavarian dresses and mens' clothes.

Today it is back to class for five more days. Time seems to be flying by.
