Why Germany?

So why did I pick Germany? Well when I was a freshman I saw there was an opportunity to travel to Germany, Israel and Poland with a focus on the Holocaust. Ever since I was in high school I have always been intrigued by how such a horrific event could ever happen. Now that I am entering my senior year and have managed to save up enough money for the trip I am going! I know the trip this year focuses on castles and cathedrals, which I am very much excited about as well, but any opportunity to see first hand what the Holocaust looked like is one that I will not miss out on. My sister went on a trip to Germany for her work a few years ago and had the chance to tour concentration camps that were used during WWII. After hearing about her experiences and seeing the images from her trip I knew this was an experience I needed to have myself. As I mentioned before, I am also very excited about exploring and understanding the architecture of Germany. After spending some time online and briefly learning about German architecture I cannot wait to be able to enter these beautiful structures. 

I could be in here!

Here's my first posting! I thought I would start off with a picture from home. 

I can't wait to see Germany! I was talking to my friend today who is from  Geneva and has spent some time in Germany. She will be studying abroad there for the whole year next year. But all of this talk about German culture and life has got me wanting to leave already! I hope everyone is as excited as me!
