Week 12

Week 12 we went to Bingen and Andernach these towns that are on the Rhine river. Bingen is a town which is an about an hour south of Bonn by bus. It is a town that was cool that was known to be where Hildgegard von Bingen is from. She wasa monk that had a lot of medical significance in the Middle Ages. We saw a museum dedicated to her and Dr.wasser dressed up as a monk to explain more about medicine in the middle ages. we also visited a garden that would be known to provide medicinal value in the middle ages. they were an assortment of plants such as basil. We had lunch there and then went to the town of Andernach. Andernach we visited a museum of medical history im the house of the owner. It was cool to see a museum like that where the owner was giving you a tour. They had really cool equipment such as the first x ray and books from the 19th century about medicine. They also had a replica of a dental studio in the 1920s that was something cool to see also.
In the weekend we went to amsterdam. i went with Kendrick Kyle and Amran and it was a good time. When we landed in Amsterdam we had some good thai food the first night. the next day we decided to take a tour of the city with our guide paul. He was a scottish person living in Amsterdam and it was pretty cool. we then went on a canal tour of the city and then i went to the notorious south indain restaurant of the world. Sarvanaa Bhavan. I had some dosa mini idli and masala chai. I had been craving south indian food for such a long time and was very satisfied to eat it again. On sunday I went to the Rijksmuseum and that was awesome. I saw all this dutch art which is quite nice. to finish off the trip i had some dutch fries with peanut sauce which was awesome.
