Day 4: June 10, Part 1










GAPP students split up today! Some went hiking in the Bavarian Alps and others headed to downtown Munich to visit museums. 

MUSEUMS  (Drake, Jaidyan, John, Jordan, Shelby, and Victor with Herr Holland):

* Deutsches Museum

The museum group first visited the largest science and nature museum in Germany, which boasts over 24,000 exhibits! Some favorites of the students were the musical instruments section, the healthcare section, and the astronautical section.

* Museum der Kunst

After a lunch break of the classic German dish, Döner (and getting lost once or twice), the museum group headed to their second museum of the day, a modern art museum featuring dynamic sculptures and unique drawings from artists around Europe.  

* Spielzeugmuseum

For their last museum, the group walked/took the U-Bahn towards the central area of the city, Marienplatz; where they toured a small museum showcasing historical children’s toys and games. Afterwards they rode the U-Bahn back to the youth hostel to rest for a bit, and a few people walked to a street food kiosk (Imbiss) for a German dinner of sausages (Würsten) and bread.

Unfortunately, this small time window means we didn’t have very much time to say goodbye. A few people from our group were so upset, they were crying. Dara and Hannah were very sad to have to leave. They had very close relationships with their host families and their partners. One thing that really touched them is that they were given matching yellow lunch boxes by their host families, which made them extremely emotional every time they saw them in their backpacks. Other people weren’t so sad, but still felt like they would miss their host families, like Hunter, who said leaving was bittersweet. I was extremely saddened that I had to leave Felix and his friends, but ...
