Sunday, June 11: Last weekend with host families

The day started of very slow after waking up at 11:00AM. Everyone was very tired until we got some food into our systems. We had a delicious homemade lasagna and salad for lunch made by Luke’s mother. After lunch we drove to the Hessenpark. The Hessenpark is an outdoor museum where they reconstructed old houses from all around Germany in one location so you can see how they lived in the past. It was a very cool experience and I was able to see how the older houses where made with wood, hay and mud.  We also how they lived their lives, like the schooling, living situation, how they made clothing, wheels/carts, charcoal, and also how they made energy through a water mill. All the buildings where normal but the doorways were too small. I probably hit my head ten times walking in and out of the houses and up and down the stairs. They also had a market and we got drinks and bread from the baker. After we left the Hessenpark we drove past an old Roman castle named Saalburg and I snapped a quick picture. We also stopped at an old church called the St. Ursula church. At the St. Ursula church we went up these very small stairs, and I mean very small (I had to turn my feet sideways because they didn’t fit), but it was worth it! When you get to the top there is a beautiful view of Oberursel and it was cool because there was a great view of Brunnenfest. Also it was cool because you could see the skyline of Frankfurt in the background. After that we came home and ate leftovers from lunch for dinner.  ~Curt S.
