5/19

Today we went to visit a different city named Ulm. In order to get to Ulm we took a high speed train called the ICE. During our tour of Ulm it rained like crazy so that was not fun at all. Also I thought our tour guide was kind of boring. Then we went and got lunch at this place that serves pancakes. Pancakes for lunch? Yes, I had a pancake that had bacon and cheese in it. Mine did not actually taste very good. However, another student on my trip, Jack, got one with shrimp inside and it looked delicious. Since the food was taking a while to be served to everyone. I also decided to get a dessert pancake and it was amazing. After lunch we went to climb 768 steps to the top of the worlds highest church tower, Ulm's minster. The minster is massive and the inside was beautiful. At first I was excited to climb the minster until we started to get pretty high up. As we climbed up step by step the spiral stair case began to get very narrow. Near the top the staircase turns into only one way for going up and down. Also, the wind began to pickup and the structure is very open so you can feel the full breeze. I began to get a bit scared as the structure felt less stable and the wind kept picking up. That being said, the view at the top was amazing.
