We are now a few days into our trip and it has been pretty fun so far. We have done so much that it is hard to keep track of some of the things that have gone on. Our first two concerts have been very good. Our first concert was in the beautiful church, St. Andrew's. It is the church where Luther preached, so for me it had some meaning.
Aside from singing, we have done A LOT of touring. There are so many things to see and not enough time to see them. My highlights of the trip have been seeing the history that engulfs all of the cities. It is so neat to me that the history here goes back thousands of years.
I am fascinated with the culture and the living styles over here. It is neat to me to see the small, country towns with perfect little houses and then see the larger cities with the tall buildings all right in a row. When I thought of Europe I always pictured the cute little streets with the cobblestone rodes and so far, that is what I have experienced. Some of the areas in Leipzig, and Erfurt were truley picture perfect.
The food has been surprisingly good. I was a bit nervous coming over here because I did not know what to expect when it came to dining. So far we have been eating excellent meals. The breakfasts are fantastic (and they are all in the hotels) and the dinners have all been superb. I enjoy being able to do lunch on our own because it gives us the opportunity to be emersed in the culture. Although not all of us speak German we do our best when ordering food. I feel much more cultured because of the lunch experiences I have had. I find it most entertaining to read the menu and try to figure out what I should (or shouldn't) order.
In all, my experiences so far have been wonderful. I've been writing down all the pictures I have been taking, so as to not get all of the churches and castle's confused. Otherwise, I have had many experiences that I will not soon forget. I know in the coming week as we make our way to
Sweden there will be many more things that will excite me and make me enjoy my trip even more.

Hey Lindsay!!! It's Kamryn! :P Sounds like you are having a blast... a bit jealous... but I'm happy for you. ;) You and I might have to make a trip to Europe to see the sites you didn't get to see. I called and left you a message on your phone to see how things were doing, but I knew you wouldn't be able to check it until you got back so I'm glad they put this website up. It's great to hear that everything is going so well there. Call me when you get back into the U.S. All of you be safe on the way home. Love ya!
