DAY 8 - Munich to Luzerne. With a stop at that one world famous castle! 🏰 But first some memories of last night since most of the students are sleeping because of our 6 AM wake-up call. 😴🥱

King Ludwig II, a very lonely king, sometimes considered crazy by his court, built Neuschwanstein Castle in honor of Wagner and his love of opera. Many believe it to be the inspiration of Cinderella’s castle in Disney World. #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim #MVEurope2023

The walk up the hill to the castle was quite intense. Some of us passed to take in the view. Others ran! 🙃🏃‍♂️

We tried to get a group shot. 📸

Of course, it was another location where there were no photos allowed inside the castle. #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim #MVInterim2023 We all had a great time nonetheless.

And here are some photos from our chaperones, @Aschewe24 and @NUTINBUTburNET

On the bus to Switzerland, students are learning about 6 famous German figures to do a debate. Beethoven vs. Guttenberg, Goethe vs. Einstein, and Hildegard von Bingen vs. Martin Luther. #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim

Emily fills all of our bus rides with challenges and learning. Earlier from lunch, they had to learn Slovakian words from our driver. They are also preparing to lead our tour around Lucerne based on 6 different Swiss stereotypes! #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim

First up: Wolfgang von Goethe versus Albert Einstein! #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim

Goethe: “Instead of destroying worlds, I created them.”
Einstein: “I am the most famous scientist of the 20th century.” twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Next up: Martin Luther versus Hildegard von Bingen, Germany’s famous religious figures. #MVInterim2023 #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim

Hildegard: “I am a healer.”
Martin: “I helped change religion for all time.” twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Final debate: Beethoven versus Gutenberg!

Beethoven: “I revolutionized all music. There would be no Cardi B without me.”
Gutenberg: “I helped to spread the written word and printing technology around the world.”

Winners of the debate… EVERYONE! Because we learned a great deal about these famous figures from German history and their contributions to the world!

The countryside is stunning. I know most of the students are sleeping, but this isn’t something I wanted to miss in Switzerland! #MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim

So many tunnels! 🚞🏔️🌊 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

No photos from dinner. 😢😴 Mostly because we are tired after a long day and also because the conversation and friendships have been thriving.

One student complained that all I do is share is bad photos of her. So here are a few doozies of me during the trip so far. I hope this makes her happy. 🤣
