Monschau, by Andrea

This is Andrea and I'm going to talk about our day in Monschau. We all drove with host family parents to an all girls school and then got a guided tour around the town, which is only populated with elderly people.  Monschau was very beautiful and reminded me a lot of pictures Frau Brandt showed us in class before we left for our trip to Germany.

After our tour we all had free time so me and some others spent the whole time walking around getting food, food, and more food. :) Monschau stores seemed really big at first but then we were told that each of the stores have houses above them which makes things very crowded.  Nevertheless the architecture around Monschau really caught my eye, especially this spot below.

Later the guide took us to a car shop where we watched a video on nature around Eifel Park, everyone was really tired by now even though it was only half way through the day. The video reminded me of Anchorage and the outdoor activities we have.  We finished the trip with a hike through Eifel where we taught the German exchange students English songs and sang the whole time until we ended up at a cafè and ate cake.
