Song wars + Autobahn = major bonding...

Yesterday, Wednesday, we took a group excusion to the little town of Trier. Its about a 3 hour drive, so we left pretty early for a very crammed day of sighseeing. We saw St. Paulin church that was not too exciting from the outside, but the inside is probably about 45% gold! It was amazing! We walked around most of the time with one of our professors, Dr. Lerner, who told us the history of everything. In the main square my favorite part was all of the flower vendors! There were flowers of everykind for so cheap, it was so fun to look at all of them! We then went on a tour of the Church of our Lady (a huge huge church...it took us about an hour to get all theway through).
We had a fun day, but then as we got back on the charters to head home we made it about 2 hours and then came to a dead stop. There had been an accident on the Autobahn...so we sat in the exact same spot for 1 1/2 hours. We ended up making the best of it--we split the bus in the center and played a song war game (one side sings part of a song..the other side has to follow with a song from the same artist)..it became so intense! We played this for the whole time we were stopped...and then we decided to have wednesday night worship on the bus. So we sang about 5 songs and finally we started moving! So we were convinced it was our singing that helped us move! haha..whoo knows...but then we ended up singing the whole last hour home. We sang for a total of 2.5 hours straight! It was soo much fun!
The best part was that our German classes were cancelled for this morning because we got back so late! So we got to sleep in--what a blessing! It ended up being a greatt trip!

Now i'm off to the MOVIES! yes, an english movie theater! I dont even know what movie we're seeing, but as long as its in a theater i'm there! I'll post pictures soon!
