After our 10 day break, I only had about half a day to get my stuff unpacked and get back to school. The break ended on Monday October 13th.
Tuesday October 14:
Ryan came to visit me! He meet up with us in Cologne when we where on a short tour of the Harbor. It was pretty hectic. We had lunch, stored his luggage, and then meet back up for the second half of the tour. Then we got back to Bonn and he had fun meeting my host family. They are so kind. They let him stay here.
Wednesday 15:
We went on another school trip to Hagen and Dusseldorf to look at different Harbor designs for a project we are working on. It was really fun to see some work that I have already seen in books before. When we got back to Bonn it was pretty late so we came back to my host family's house and ate dinner with them. Then Ryan played guitar for my host family and the little boys played along. It was so adorable. They are both musically talented!
Thursday 16:
Another trip to Dusseldorf, by this trip the whole class was so tired of moving around. It was exhausting, but the tour of Architecture was fun. When we got back to Bonn, Ryan and I went out so that I could show him more of the city.
Friday 17:
VIENNA! We booked a blind flight and ended up going to Vienna, Austria. It was so beautiful, one of my favorite cities so far. On the first day we went to the Belvedere Museum to see The Kiss by Gustav Klimt. I have never seen such a beautiful painting. It doesn't even compare to the prints.
Saturday 18:
We woke up early and enjoyed the wonderful breakfast at the hotel, and then went out to the town. We went to see all of the famous Doms, and then went out to a beautiful Garden just outside of the main town. We ate a reasonably priced 3 course meal in the gardens. It was a fun treat. I don't know if anything I have ever experianced would compaire to eating a wonderful meal in an enormous garden in Vienna with Ryan. For the evening we went to a small concert of Mozart and Strauss. It was held at the hall that Mozart used to perform as a child. Then we went to the Vienna Film Festival, Viennale. Ryan was so excited to go because he is quite into film stuff. The movie we saw was awful, but the theater and experiance was alot of fun!
Sunday 19:
Last day in Vienna! We didn't want to be too stressed, so we went to the museum district and just spent all day in museums until our flight left. We saw some very interesting exhibits, and more beautiful paintings by Klimt.
Monday 20-Tuesday 21:
I had school today, but for lunch my class mates, Ryan, and I went out to a nice place to get some authentic German cuisine. It was delicious. Since Ryan was about to leave, I tried to show him all around Bonn. We spent alot of time walking and just having fun. He really got to see what my life was like over here.
Wednesday 22:
I took Ryan to the train station in Cologne very very early. He had to leave to go catch his flight back home. I was sad to say bye to Ryan, but my day was extreamly busy after he left. We had a tour of the Bonn U.N. Campus. Then we had a personal presentation on what the U.N. World Conference is expecting for Bonn this Spring.
