Schüleraustausch USA: Welcome to Gettysburg

+++ day 7 +++ Gettysburg +++ Student Report by Annalena and Lili  +++

On Friday we went to Gettysburg with the whole group. We had a guided tour. The tour guide talked about the civil war around Gettysburg, about the generals and so on. It wasn’t really a tour for us teens because he talked to much about history and sometimes you couldn’t understand him (But as it is a school trip, a few hours of American history had to be part of the programme and didn’t do no harm – Anmerkung der Lehrer).
After the three hours tour we had lunch in a restaurant in Gettysburg where most things are made with some cheese. When we had had lunch we went shopping in the outlet of Gettysburg. The fitting rooms are a bit different to Germany, if you want to try something on you must ask someone of the shop assistants if you can get a fitting room. In the afternoon we ate dinner at home and talked a lot and the host family tried Ahoi Brause which was funny.
