First Day of "Class"

Yesterday was a tiring day.  I met up with some friends downtown, where we walked around all day, with our own tour guide - One of the host dads.  He seemed to know quite a bit about the city and enjoyed showing us all around.  There's a really nice path down the Rhine, so we also walked a few miles down that.  

Here are some pictures from the city. This is a church that we toured that was built in the 13^th century.  It’s called Münster. 

Here's a view of the inside courtyard:

Also, the two guys who founded this church were beheaded, so it only made sense to put their heads on the ground in front.

So, that was really pretty.  The rest of the town basically looks the same (like this):

and one more of the old courthouse:

So yea, the town is pretty cool looking.

Today was our first day of class.  First, we got a tour around the city, pretty similar to the one yesterday.  Then we had a quick overview of early German history, and then a class on speaking German.  I just got back from downtown again, where some friends and I just walked around and had dinner.  We all have to split up to go home, so I’m getting more familiar with public transportation.
