Tattoos On This Town

Although Jason Aldean’s song is obviously geared more towards the small town lives lead by the country folk of America; it is still very applicable to a city like Bonn–probably many European cities. This is because of all the history around every corner. Every building and statue here has a story. After going through the city tour of Bonn we came to realize that the history of Bonn goes back centuries. It is great to also be in a place where they care and respect their past. 
This past week we also went to Mayschoß. It is a small town outside of Bonn where the make wine. There was SO many grape vines, everywhere. The wine itself was also some of the best. There was also some pretty good soup that all the Texas kids got seconds of (as opposed to the Penn State group that apparently just don’t eat).

Apart from the AIB activities, we have also spend a lot of time exploring the area on our own. We have explored all the different kinds of beer in the areas. In these first couple of weeks we have sufficiently explored the bars around Bonn, but there is still more to see! We have a lot more to see around Bonn, the rest of Germany and Europe!
