Reflections on Wittenberg
The most interesting thing about Wittenberg was the church that we went to. It was the church where Luther nailed his 95 thesis on the doors of the church. The service was all in German so we couldn’t understand it that well and the church was insanely hot. It was really cool to see where Luther was buried and to see the same doors where he nailed his thesis.
One of the weirdest parts of Wittenberg was how empty it was. It was a Sunday so a lot of stores were closed, but the streets were almost empty. There weren’t many locals around and it doesn’t seem to be a popular place anymore for tourists.

Aside from Heidelberg, Bremen was by far the cutest and most touristy city that the group visited!

Sehr Lecker!
Although this phrase, which can be translated as ‘delicious’, has been used out-of-context countless times within our group, it’s not to diminish the abundance of some seriously fantastic food here in Germany. Here are a couple that I have come to love.

Reflection on Wittenberg
Martin Luther’s church in Wittenberg provided a different experience than the Cologne Cathedral.
Reflections on Bremen
One Friday, our whole group took a day trip to Bremen, which was around a 4-hour train ride west of Berlin. The only thing I had known about Bremen Continue reading “Reflections on Bremen”
