May 6

We kicked off Day 4 with our long bus ride to Nuremburg. Our first activity of the day was a tour of the city. We were able to see and hear some of the many things that the city has to offer including a few castles, the city square and its large church, and others. We also got quick lessons about the famous food that can be found in the city including the sausage and lebkuchen, which is a type of bread with ginger and other spices. We were also lucky enough to see the clock in the city square when the little people were playing their instruments. My favorite thing to see was the view from the first castle we visited. I would say that Nuremburg was my favorite city to visit so far because there are so many cool things to see and it seemed to have many great places to eat. Speaking of places to eat, the next thing on our agenda was lunch. I’m not sure of the name of the restaurant, but it was where I first tried the pig shoulder. It was delicious, but very hard eat to all of it and I had to at least come close, which I finally did about 10 minutes after everyone else was done eating. With a very full stomach I was ready to move on to the tour of Siemens. It was cool to see the advanced medical equipment they had and the incredible things they are able to do with it. After quite a bit of learning, our planned activities were over.
