Last Full Day In Nuremberg

Aug 30
Today I got up and ate breakfast and promptly went back to bed. I didn't really realize how tired I was until I woke up again at noon. The best thing to follow the patter of Sleep -> Food -> Sleep is of course more food. Our entire group went out to eat at a nice German restaurant. Half our group (the guy half) all ordered what's called “something I couldn't possibly spell so lets forget what it's called”. It was a big hunk of meat of some kind. After lunch I was feeling tired so I went back to the hotel and slept some more (This is a lie, I just wanted to continue my sleep -> food cycle).
After lunch our group got on a bus and went to the Nazi party rally grounds. There are really two parts to this trip. The first is big stadium-like field (The zeppelin field) where Hitler used to give speeches. It's mostly intact but not maintained because it was built by the Nazis. After we saw the zeppelin field we took a long walk around the lake. It was a really nice park area with people feeding the ducks and riding around on paddle boats. I could have done without the walk around the lake. We've been doing a lot of walking lately. The second part of our trip is the Party Congress Hall which looks like the Colosseum from one side and has a very boring boxy bunker-like building attached to make a connected horseshoe shape. Inside was a museum detailing the history of the Nazis and they building projects in Nuremberg. They were planning on building several more buildings but they must not have gotten around to it. The museum was very detailed but it was all in German so we had to listen to some portable audio devices that were uncomfortable to hold up to your ear for more than ten minutes.
I went back into the main part of Nuremberg and went to Starbucks, which is right next to the river, and chatted until dinnertime. We made our hike up the big hill to our youth hostel and ate our last dinner in Nuremberg.
That night we had a class. Tom promised that this would be the only Sunday class that we would be having. Our other class was postponed because of Kay's accident. This was our first real business writing class because the other one was more of an introduction.
We went out for ice cream after the class and I talked with Jake and Spencer for a while. I won't be seeing them for a couple weeks, but we might meet up if we take a weekend trip to Switzerland.
