It has been almost a week and a half since we arrived in Germnay. Most everything here is about what I anticipated or had experienced abroad before. The food however is exceptionally good wherever I have gone. (except on the train ride to Leipzig but that was more my own fault than anything).
So far we have visited an organic farm (which was quite interesting), taken multiple city tours, visited various research facilities (each one took care of things a little bit differently but everything was interesting), toured multiple zoos, and even toured a vet school.
Our first free weekend was split between Munich and Vienna. The first, Munich, was very pretty and we had an excellent time touring Cinderella's Castle and looking around the city for a bit. Our train left very late and we were pretty tired so we were very glad to have our sleeping cart all to ourselves. We arrived in Vienna after a not-so-fun train ride and once the morning issues were resolved and we were checked in to our hotel things started getting better. We visited the zoo, which was very interesting, and ate at a very nice restaurant. After not sleeping much on the train it was nice to sleep in warm cozy beds. The next day we left for Leipzig which took most of the day on a train but we made it without problems.
This week has been a bit more crazy because our schedules are much more dense with more activities taking place. However, I have really enjoyed being able to go on rounds, visit with other vet students, and see how certain things within the vet school work outside of the US. We travel to Prague tomorrow so hopefully it won't be as diffiicult of a ride as last weekend.
