One of the most fun parts of this trip to
Germany for me has been seeing the countryside.
We rode a train from Bonn to Eisenach, which was about a three hour
ride. On the way there, we got to see a
lot of small little towns along the way.
We saw what looked like it could be grape vines growing down the steep
hillsides. It was very hilly and also
went along the same path of a big river.
It reminded me of Minnesota or the Iowa town Garnavillo.
Yesterday was also an incredible experience
to see the Wartburg Castle. I have been
there before once, so I knew what to expect but it was still very much fun for
the second time. The Wartburg Choir
performed in a music hall and they all did an amazing job with their
songs. Seeing them perform really
brought the Castle to life. Our group
filmed the entire performance as well.
Normally for filming an event with three cameras like we did, we would
have headsets and would communicate with each other through them what camera
shots to get and who was “live” at the time.
We were not able to bring all that technology with us so had to
improvise with hand signals. The system
was impressive anyway and worked pretty well!
Another part of the trip that was really
exciting to see was the Love Lock Bridge.
Couples will buy a padlock, make an inscription, lock it to a part on
the bridge and then throw the key in the river.
