Week 12

What I thought would be a normal week in Bonn, turned into Isabelle and I moving out of the apartment because our roommate got COVID. We didn't want to risk testing positive before our Study Trip to Vienna next week, so we relocated to the Bonnox Hotel. We adjusted to having a longer commute to AiB and made the best of it. Nate took Jules and I on a hike just behind his neighborhood for a view of the city at sunset. After our physiology exam, we went out to a huge green field by Drachenfels Castle to play soccer. The weather is finally warming up and Spring is here! On Saturday, Jules and I took a day trip to Braunfels, Germany. We missed our connecting train on the way there, but we were able to spend time in Koblenz which was a really pretty, friendly German city and walked along the Rhine. We visited the castle that the Schlitterbahn Castle is modeled after in New Braunfels, Texas and hiked around the gardens for the day. When I got back to the Bonnox Hotel, the fire alarms were going off and I wasn't able to get back in til midnight, but thankfully, it was a false alarm. On Sunday, Jules and I met Nate and his friends in Aachen for a soccer game. We got beers and wursts and cheered with the old German men banging on drums and waving banners, flags, and threw confetti in the stands. Even though we lost, it was such a fun experience and we walked around the market and of course, got ice cream to end a great weekend.
