Finally got some internet

Aug 28
I woke up early, around 7, and couldn't really sleep anymore. We had a class on a big arc sculpture. It was about 95 degrees but I was in a really comfortable position so it was okay. I ate lunch at a bratwurst stand, which wasn't all that good. I'm looking forward to some better bratwurst later. We had a lot of time to do whatever so we hung out on a bridge and watched people. We waited for the bus to bring us to Nuremberg. It was a three hour bus ride. Right before we got on the bus Kay tripped on one of the stairs and was really in pain. When we got to Nuremberg she went to the hospital and had broken one of the bones in her foot. She has to have surgery on Monday and then a couple weeks or rest. She's a tough girl, she wouldn't let me carry her up to the youth hostel. She couldn't walk on her foot so someone else eventually convinced her to let them carry her up the hill.
We ate dinner at the JHB (youth hostel). It was kinda like cafeteria food and not that great, but it was good enough to eat I guess. We went out to explore the city a bit (Jesse, Jake, Spencer, Me, Eric). It has some really cool old buildings. I'll have to upload some pictures later. We got some ice cream at a stand, and walked around the city until it was almost dark. Right before it got completely dark we went to the highest part of the city, which it right next to the JHB. We looked out over the city and tried to take a few pictures before the sun set. We came back later while it was dark, looking for stars, but there were fireworks instead, and a crowd of people. We played with our cameras and tied to take some night shots.
The JHB where we are staying was the main headquarters of the Hitler Youth during WWII. It was also a prison and it's built like one. On one side there is a 70 foot wall that we are on top of.
