Both the ERHS students and the Gars students traveled to Munich today to tour the city and see the sights. There are many things to see in Munich, but the surprising thing about the city is that it doesn't feel that large. The buildings are not skyscrapers and the streets did not seem too crowded. In fact, many of the people were on bicycles.
Students spent the morning taking a bit of a guided tour, and then had the afternoon to walkabout, shop, and visit other sites in and around the city center. Some of the sites visited included the Cathedral of Munich, St. Peter's Clocktower, City Hall, the Hall of Generals, and the King's Square. Before visiting Munich about the only two things I knew about the city is that it was the site of the 1972 Olympic Games, and that it was connected with Nazi activities around WWII. It was a great opportunity for all of us to learn that there is much more to the city than that.
Tomorrow, students will again attend school at Gars Gymnasium. Some of the students will be going back into classes. They will talk about life in Olney and school at ERHS. They will also work in English classes and help Gars students with their conversational English.
