Yesterday, I arrived into the home of the largest Cuckoo clock - Wiesbaden , Germany. I was given a quick tour of the city by car, which was very nice, followed by a very tasty dinner at my host family’s house. Today, Sylvia, the mother, took me to a small quaint medieval town. Though the name escapes me, it was a very lovely experience, giving me a real taste of medieval life could have been like. It is home to what is called the Witches’ Tower, built in the mid 1400s, at around the same time as the town.
Tonight I went to a German house party with one of the sons. It was very entertaining watching a bunch of German teenagers jumping around while listening and singing to English and American music. The entire experience was like watching an 80s American movie, but with people talking in German and not doing drugs. The drinking age here is 16, so the majority of teenagers spend their time out with friends drinking a few beers or wine in a safe place. That culture is especially odd to me, and the same was thought about me when I told people I didn’t drink - though one guy thought it was really cool.
As a last note of interest, I am going to do a tour of castles along the Rhine river tomorrow, which I will most likely write a long post about later. I read that the FBI is preparing businesses for Martial Law, so I hope everything is going well in America.
