After a late breakfast, we went to the Kronberg castle. This castle was built in the mid-1200s. It was used by the Lords of Kronberg and then Victoria Kaiserin Friedrich. Around the castle, there were beautiful gardens and flowers, including a tree that is over 200 years old, and the favorite sitting place of Victoria Kaiserin Friedrich. We also walked around the village of Kronberg, and stopped for lunch in the Altstadt. Then we went into Königstein, another town near Kronberg, and we saw the Königstein castle. This castle was also built in the mid 1200s. It is bigger than Kronberg. It also provides a nice view of the Feldberg. Later, we made some chocolate chip cookies. We first made these when Sophia stayed in NC and they were very yummy, so I brought a bag of chocolate chips with the recipe on the back so we could make them again in Germany. They ended up being a bit flat but still very tasty. In the evening, we met with one of Sophia’s friends and watched movie and made burgers. Overall, it was a great day! ~Jenna
