Metz, France
We are on our way to Paris. We stopped in Ulm, Germany and looked at the Ulm Cathedral, which is now a Protestant church. It was huge and quite interesting. I wanted to climb the steeple, but I didn’t think I was allowed to.
We drove for a very long time before arriving in Metz. I read Still Alive: A Holocaust Girlhood Remembered by Ruth Kluger on the bus. It is assigned reading for my Political Science class, but it is anything but dull. I really enjoy her writing style and her overall perspective on what happened in the concentration camps and after the war ended. I also began thinking of all the awful things that happened in our world. Europe has really rebo.JPG)
unded since the World Wars. Looking out at the German countryside, I couldn’t help but wonder about the turmoil that was occurring, only 75 years ago.
Metz is a very nice town. I went on a “Cathedral Tour” tonight. The town seems very clean and the churches are all gorgeous, like something out of a fairytale.
Now, I shall relay some awesome quotes of the day. I’ll try to do this for every entry, just to keep things somewhat funny.
