From the vineyard
Just a pretty picture on the walk
Countryside... I love it
Windmills! also right on the other side is Belgium... it's a 20 min walk to Belgium... Neat!
Maastricht from the enterence to the caves
This week flew by! Good classes, good food, good nights, and a great fieldtrip! We went on a bit of a hike around Maastricht for the fieldtrip, visited a vineyard, and saw the caves that are beneath Maastricht. The weather and scenery were incredible! The caves were man made, but we did have a part that we walked through in complete darkness… it’s really disorienting, and I could definitely understand how someone might go a bit crazy after only a short time… scary! After that we trekked to the vineyard. The hike was beautiful, and the well at one point very steep! What a workout! The vineyard was charming! We learned about making wine in Maastricht, and also did some wine tasting. Besides the fieldtrip, it was another fun week. We went out some, and learned that two of our fellow classmates got engaged while in Rome! We also made some bartender friends at the Shamrock, a local Irish pub. I liked the atmosphere there a lot, and Marc and Stephen (the bartenders) were a lot of fun! I chatted with Stephen about Europe and America, and I’m sure he thought I was a little eccentric. Fun night… we planned another night out with them for next week! Oh! Ryan, Kymber, and I also went bowling! That was a fun experience... the board wasn't in English, so we had to have an employee come help us put our names in and get set up... I love bowling though!
