Yesterday I went on the German fast train, or the ICE. It went at around 250 kmh! It took me to Bremen, the famous home of the story, the Bremen town Musicians by Hans Christian Anderson. I stepped out of the train station exactly at noon, and all the bells in the churches were ringing. It sounded so cool!. All around were statues of a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster. I found it so funny! I stopped off in a local book store and bought a copy of Hans Christian Andersen's works in German. I will try to decipher them tonight. I explored the town a lot today. It is another medieval town that has been modernized, like Munich, and is a bit smaller, but just as quaint. There were some of the medieval houses like I saw in Rothenberg, and some even had the strange pulley thing on them! I loved getting lost in the twisty, windy, cobblestone strets, and having to find my way back to the hotel with my iPhone's GPS. I had to stop and get Gelatto, of course! This is a really nice place and I can't wait to got o Berlin!.

Hannah, what a great traveler you are. And what an outstanding blogger. I was with you (almost) every step, train, and bmw of the way. I loved the places and discoveries you planned and what you did when you went there. Thanks for making me feel like I really went to Germany. Can't wait for the next journey.
