Today we started in Leipzig, we saw were Bach played the organs in St. Thomas church. There were 2 organs there. Each one was very ornate with pictures and marble and so on. Oh by the way yesterday right after I finished my entry our coach broke down and we had to wait almost an hour until another coach came to pick us up. So today we also went to a square were there was this little ring on a giant fountain and legend is that if you spin the ring 3 times with your eyes closed and make a wish, you will get that wish. That night we went to a spa hotel. The pool was great. They only had 2, but 1 was outside and freezing and the other 1 was have learned pool that I have ever seen. It was very relaxing, but then my sister and inside, warm and had the most jets I have ever seen. I would run from the hot pool to the cold pool and just back and forth until they closed at 10:00 P.M or I guess 20:00 P.M here, my time and 4:00 P.M your time.

Oh, man I only have 2 days left until I am home. I mean I love ya guys and I miss my 3 year old sister, but I am having the time of my life!!! Well while I am writing I will tell you what I have learned. I have learned that Europeans use military time, I also learned that when the black plague was spreading in Oberammergau (a city in Bavaria, Germany) some people made a promise, that if the plague would stop spreading they would do a play every 10 years of the Last 5 days of Jesus’’ Life. Sure enough that day the plague stopped spreading and everyone who had it was cured. Talk about a miracle! This play is called the Passion Play. By the way, today I took a tour of where the play takes place. Right now I am passing The Alps and Germany’s highest Mt. which is about 9,000 Ft. Sadly we can’t see much of it because it is quite cloudy and rainy.
