Germany

We saw THE largest cuckoo clock in the entire world today!!!! It is on the side of this little cottage! The figures dance out of open doors and twirl around the porch. The clock itself is built into the wall. It was all very cute. =) We went into a shop that had TONS of cuckoo clocks in it! There were large, massive ones, grandfather clocks, and everything inbetween down to the tiny pocket watches. My mom bought a few cuckoo clocks as gifts for family. The shop was crazy because there were 500 millions birds chirping and little figures dancing around!!! It was very entertaining.

We also saw the Black Forest! We have and will spend the least amount of time in Germany than in any other country on this trip. Last night, we had dinner at the motel, but the motel is more like a bunk house. Some of the group went out on an adventure looking for a naked German. hahaha they ended up playing frisbee in some farmer's corn field.

We boarded the plane in Heidelburg and I felt a little sad! Adam took us to the gates and watched us all go through security. It is amazing what he did for us. He led us through the exciting, yet dangerous cities of Paris and London, the smaller towns of Switzerland and Italy, and every where in between! He taught us how to use the Tube, how to exchange our US money for pounds, euros, and franks. He kept us safe from the bad guys, showed us where to go, sent us on tours through palaces, took us to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and shared with us so many intellectual insights. I can't imagine being responsible for a bunch of dumb tourist coming from the United States and taking them through countries with people that don't speak their language. Haha, but I sure am grateful that he was brave enough to take my mom and I on an adventure of a life time!
