June 16 - off to see the host families

Ulm Blog ~ Alison 

Saturday was a traveling day. It was our last day together before we would stay with our host families. We first took a 2 hour train ride from Salzburg to München. We then took another 2 hour train from München to Ulm. After a lot of napping and card games, we arrived in Ulm. 



We had a couple of hours of free time before we would take another train from Ulm to Tiengen (where our host families live). We broke off into groups. I went to McDonalds for lunch because we didn’t have a lot of time. Afterwards we walked to the Ulm cathedral and began the hike up 728 stairs to the top of the tallest church. The view was awesome.

We then took a train to go see our host families. When we were about 10 minutes away from the final train station, everyone began to freak out. After some frantic German greetings review, we stepped off the train to meet our new families.
