Lots of Walking!!!!

Our adventure in Kassel began with figuring out the city's tram system...and we didn't do too bad -- the proof being we are back safe and sound in our hotel room! Our first stop off the tram was the Brothers Grimm Museum. We learned even more about the brothers -- I didn't think it was possible!! We also found some more things to use at school with our classes. After yet another outdoor lunch, we hopped back on the tram to take us to Wilhelmshohe Park and Castle. It was a beautiful day for a hike, which we definitely got!!! Our trek up the mountain started with a walk through the rose gardens and then onto a pond to watch a fountain that spouts only on Sundays and Wednesdays at 3:30...it starts at the top of the mountain as a waterfall and then runs down the mountainside until it erupts like Old Faithful! We continued on up the hill and at the 7kilometer mark, Mrs.Schroeder and Mrs. Larson decided to rest their weary legs and watch Mrs. Mankse and Ms.Evans continue up 565 steps to the top for some incredible views. Our German word/phrase for the day: schloss (castle) Translation Time: (please comment your best guess) "einzelfahrkate"
