We gathered early to leave for
Germany on the beloved charter bus. As an aside, I think I was awake for a
combined total of 30 minutes for all of the bus rides. I consistently got
refreshing sleep on that bus. Anyway, Aachen is a city right near the Dutch
border and it is a medium sized German town. We got off the bus and went to the
EGS Annaschule which was a Protestant Primary school but would be considered a
public school in America despite its religious affiliation. The lady at the
school reminded me of Professor Umbridge from Harry Potter. I don’t know why.
After the school we went to an
amazing lunch of soup and sandwiches before briefly walking the city. We went
into a large, ornate church and some local stores before heading off to the
Three Country Point.
We were only at the Three Country
Point for about ten minutes but it was cool to be in three countries (Belgium,
Germany and the Netherlands) at the same time. After, we went to the only
American WWII cemetery in Holland. It was really moving and cool to see in the
snow and our guide was informative and engaging.
We then headed back to Maastricht
and all the guys ordered in that night and we just chilled the night away.
