• German class trip

  last week the German Class of 08 went on a trip to the far away land of kansas city. (actually it only took us about 4 hours to get there but i have to make it sound as adventuresome as possible) we got there around 3 pm and checked into our motel rooms and then everyone got ready to go to the german restaurant. we had carefully planned and even gone on a shopping trip and we all had matching clothes. that is the guys all had matching shirts and the girls all had matching dresses. (or as close to matching as possible) since it was still quite early in the afternoon we visited the Arabian Steamboat museum before we went to eat. we had a jolly time walking around in the museum and looking at all the stuff (and believe me there was a LOT) that had been on the ship when it disappeared into the "mighty Mo" over a hundred years before it was once again discovered. we spent over an hour in there an i think the workers were relieved to see us leave because once we left they left too. funny how that works. ;)  next on the agenda was to go eat the Rheinland Restaurant (i think that was the name) we drove for what seemed like a long time but it actually wasn't all that far. The food was great and I don't think anyone suffered to much from trying any of the new food which really most of the food wasn't so different from what we are used to. The smoked salmon was prob the most different and there were various opinions on whether it was edible. as for myself i thought it was delicious!!
  here are some random pictures from the restaurant:

  that evening we went downtown and walked around at some shopping center. it was way cool seeing all the lights and all the interesting people who were also walking around.
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  we spent some time at barns and nobles and then ate ice cream at the coldstone creamery but since my camera batteries died i don't have any more pictures of that night. the next morning we went to union station and walked around there for a while. i had an absolutely amazing truffle!! so yeah it was like really really good. for some reason i don't really have any good group pictures from when we were there....maybe its cause we didn't take any good group pictures....well here are just a few other cool pictures
   
   
  
  
  
  
  we also stopped in at the WW1 museum but since we didn't have very much time we only went to the tower part of the museum. the tower was really cool. we could like see the whole city!!
