Day 6: June 12




Today was the highlight of the trip so far. We started off the day by making our way to the Dachau concentration camp. The bus was completely full but we somehow squeezed on with no breathing room. 

Dachau was mind blowing. We watched a short film about what had taken place at the concentration camp. Walking through where previous murders had taken place of so many innocent people was astonishing and heartbreaking. 

We next took a ride back to Marienplatz where the rest of our day would take place. We quickly grabbed some lunch with a side of Spaghettieis and started on our Marienplatz scavenger hunt. Our luck brought us a Scottish soccer team singing and cheering it up on the streets as they drank their fill of beer! We ended our day with a nice dinner in a German restaurant. We had many laughs and agreed it was a great day.

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 ...
