Okay so I must say that Quedlinburg is so awesome! My Teacher, Frau Dr. McClian always says it is Germany's hidden secret. And I agree! Today we took a guided tour around the town. It, of course, is very old and has so much history. Most Mideavil towns burned down back in the day but Quedlinburg never did. It also survived the wars and all that. So this town has the oldest of the old in it. The buildings are mostly the half-timbered style of houses. This style of building sets such an quiant tone for all the streets. Just walking around is fun although, it is super cold. I have now learned the meaning of layers. And boy do we have to wear layers! I'm talking about long john's and many pairs of socks and shirts upon shirts with sweatshirts and jackets. And even then the cold gets to my Texan bones. Every Wednesday and Saturday is the market on the square. This is when local farmers and vendors sell their goods on the square in front of the "Rathaus" or the town hall. They sell things like fruits and veggies. There is a lady who sells cooked chickens. One booth even sells horse meat. :( but it's still cool.
I will post pictures of everything soon. I forgot my camera's computer cord in America.
I love you all!
