DAY 6 — Salzburg to Munich. First stop at Hangar 7 outside the city, the home of Red Bull

#MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim
More shots! I was told there was a good mural in the bathroom. We didn’t get to get too far into the museum because they were filming a movie there today. Nonetheless, the kids enjoyed the sights!

#MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim
So prepare for the tweet bomb of the trip! Far too much fun contained for just 2-3 tweets! #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim
We had the chance to stop at the Hellbrunn Palace on the way out of Salzburg, home of the Sound of Music Pavillon — relocated here after the filming of the movie.

Students had a chance to show off our waltzing skills that we learned in Vienna. #MVInterim #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
We also had so much fun in the snow park nearby. ❄️☃️Of course kids loved the impromptu free event we had no idea we’d get to enjoy! #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Lots of swings, joy! The laughter was contagious. I think some of us even found our inner child again! Even the ones much closer in age to childhood. Our own Frontier.

There was a zip line that many of the kids were able to play on! #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Went to another place with very few opportunities to take pictures. The Salt Mines! Finally crossed into Deutschland! Maybe a photo I shouldn’t have taken in the mines. #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim
More fun shots from our trip into the mines. Some of us even went on adventure to find a phone. #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim
I got this sentence on Duolingo this morning. I can tell you the chaperones have made this trip so awesome! Thanks @NUTINBUTburNET and @Aschewe24 for shepherding this children across #MVEurope2023 with me. #MVInterim2023
Now lunch at Hofbrauhaus Berchtesgaden! #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim
Emily has filled out trip to München with tons of fun activities! The challenges continue with quizzes and word searches. Ever the competitive spirit with the Mustangs! #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterjm
Oh, mom and dad… I think we found some new items for our wish list at BMW World!

#MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim
What say you? Can we get it?! Pleassseee! 🙏🚗🏎️🚙

#MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim
A few more photos for good measure! Even the chaperones are thinking of a purchase.
#MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim
A nice dinner with friends and back to the hotel for the night! #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim And a train ride back to the hotel.
Looking back, today was a great day. Group shot from the Salzbergwerk in Deutschland. 🧂🇩🇪 #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim

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.

Our meeting point is The Arch of Constantine. Arches were built to commemorate great victories. In the distance, the hill where Romulus and Remus founded the ancient city of Rome.

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!

After a sweet breakfast, common for Italians, students jumped on the bus to head to the Siracusa Archeological Park — meeting our local guide, Lucia. Lucia shared info on the history of this area as a quarry.

We learned about the feats of engineering used to create giant blocks for building. But we also learned about the importance of pillars in supporting the roof structures.

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.
