Today the entire group joined for a trip to two cities. After a bus ride we arrived first in Bremerhaven, where we toured the Deutsches Auswanderer Haus. There we learned about the emigration of those leaving for the New World as well as the immigration of those coming to Germany. Each of us were given two identities of real people who either emigrated from Germany or immigrated to Germany. With those identities we were able to follow the persons journey. We also saw the different living conditions throughout the years for those making the trip.
Next was a train ride to the city of Bremen. I personally was interested to see the city because my German teacher was born and raised in Bremen Germany! We took a walk around the city where we saw the most beautiful historic architecture! Then the group splitsplit up and did things individually. In my group was Maya, Caro, Ihno, Jake, Philip, and Gunnar. We all went to Starbucks first, as did many others. Then we went to a bakery for a bit to eat and cool down as it was very warm outside today. We walked around through little shops where I found a few Bremen souvenirs! Briefly we went to H&M where Maya and I discover that it was fairly cheaper than in America.
The groups then met up again before heading to the train station for departure from Bremen. However, before we began walking to the train station, after seeing my pin Audrey decided she needed to go back to buy a Bremen pin and sticker. So Audrey, Caro, Ihno, and I swiftly returned to the shop where I purchased mine. The train ride home was filled with othersothers telling stories about their time apart from the big group.
Though today was very fun to see the museum and beautiful historic city. My favorite part was walking around Bremen in my group. We truly had fun doing simple things and laughed so much I won't need an ab workout for a week 😅. I cannot wait to continue my amazing time here in Germany tomorrow!! 🇩🇪🖤❤💛
