City of Eiffel & Monreal

Today was awesome! We had to get up around 5:30am which was one of the low points of the day but after that it was so great. I saw so many great places and learned so much. We first went to a gregorian chant mass in the morning. It felt like i was in the Roman days lol Then we drove through the city of Eiffel (beautiful landscapes) and visited a castle there that was over 1000 years old! After that we went to the small village of Monreal - voted prettiest village in Germany two years ago. The town was so cute. We then hiked up the slipperiest and steepest hill ever to see another small castle up close and to get a better view of the city. We did not get back until about 6:30pm. When we arrived Irmgard and her daughter Paula greeted us with a traditional German meal ( I would write it if I could spell it lol). It was actually very tasty. I told Paula that I have German and Philosophy class tomorrow and she said she would help me with my homework! She's 12 and has already taken Philosophy! Unreal! Today was a very long day but it was very educational and enjoyable at the same time. Hope you all enjoy the pictures! With Love...
