EXCURSION

On June 16, we left for our 6 day excursion where will take a charter bus across Germany.  Our first stop was in the small city of Dessau.  Here we were able to have a guided tour through an extremely controversial of its time.  The Bauhaus was a school designed by Walter Gropious.  This advant gaurde art school pushed the limits of the norm in this era.  Eventually it was shut down where it became occupied by the socialist party for various reasons.  Then the building was restored and now is a museum of the Bauhaus arts.
After our delicious meal here we headed down the road to the town of Nurmburg, Germany.  This was the first city the we visited that is apart of the Bavarian state.  This region of the country has a much slower and traditional feel to it from the red shingle roofs to the castle looking down on the city.  
We then ate delicious pizza then settled into Nurmberg by having a little fun watching the Czech Republic play Poland in the Euro cup.
