Then, up the funicular to Festung Fortress in Hohen Salzburg. #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim

I’m told there are pictures of snow angels that I may be able to get from students.
Students, Anna and Reese, learning about medieval and post-Reformation torture with @Aschewe24. Heard: “Dr. Schewe, when can we take European History?”

#MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim
Next up, a bit of panorama of the city and surrounding countryside. YES, that’s the Alps in the background!

#MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim
To the ultimate work wife and absolute BEST colleague a man could ask for, @Aschewe24. Thank you photographer, Reese K. 🤗🥰 Superb mama chaperone.
Snow coming in through the canon ports and a bit of fun in the gift shop! #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Anna and Reese playing the organ! At Festung HohenSalzburg! #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023
Video of the funicular from the top! #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 And group selfies from the students! twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Students are learning about “step stones,” which you can find in Austria, Germany, and Poland — here in the Jewish Quarter of Salzburg, known for its tiny, narrow streets. #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim
Traveling down this small city street we looked into shops and remembered when students saw similar golden steps in Belgium. They commemorate where Jews were taken from their homes. #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim
A few photos from students sharing their perspective of our full-day walking tour of Salzburg.

#MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim
More photos from students seeing their side of the trip! #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023
And the final guest student photographer for tonight! #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2923 #MVInterim
We ended the night at Franciscan Kirche in Salzburg. Several students came into this optional event and attended a mass in German.
#MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim
Now, off to the hotel. Maybe some time for swimming?

Because you can’t take pictures in the Sistine Chapel, guides teach about its history, importance, and symbolism outside of the chapel and Vatican Museums.

Along the way, we get to see numerous works of art, including the famous Laocoon.

We also learn geography!

A corridor filled the over 40 maps of the territories of Italy!

Of course, I took pictures of the hallway, not the maps. But Trey took plenty!

After breakfast in the hotel, we get pumped in the lobby for a day of walking around the city to view the artifacts of Ancient Rome and share reminders about public transportation in a foreign city. First view: St Mary of the Nativity.

A few lovely views along the way to Palermo!

And, no, I didn’t take pictures of anyone sleeping on the bus!

Pictures weren’t allowed at our stop this morning — the Capuchin Crypts, where bodies have been mummified, preserved, and displayed for nearly 400 years.

But we are all checked in for our flight to Rome!

A stroll along the bayside of Marsaxlokk Port and stalls. We had the chance to learn about the role the bay plays in Maltese culture. Boats are prized possessions and are often painted in vibrant colors.
