I Love German Food!

Last Saturday I was invited to the home of the English department chair from the school I am working at. When I arrived, she was finishing lunch and oh my goodness was lunch amazing. We each had a thin slice of roast beef that was spread with veggies and then rolled and baked. Along with this we had potatoes with graving and additional steamed veggies. If that was not enough, for dessert we had plum Knudel covered with cinnamon hot from the oven. It was amazing!!! After lunch, we rode our bikes into town through the Grosser Garten, a big park in Dresden, through the Altstadt to the Zwinger. The Zwinger is the palace in Dresden and today it is the location of the major art museum in Dresden. After touring the museum for two hours, we walked to the Neustadt in hopes of climbing a church bell tower to see the view of Dresden. But when we arrived at the church, it was closing, so we could not go up. But I was not disappointed. The walk to and from the Neustadt offered some great opportunities to take pictures of Dresden. Since we could not go up to the tower of the church, we went to the Rathaus, or city hall, instead and went up in its tower and had a great view of the city. I have posted some of my pictures below. It was another great day in Dresden, largely due to the kindness of the teachers I am working with.
