Hamburg is in Germany
After Dan and I got back from our trip, we spent a week writing exams and then we were off again touring Europe. This time we hit up Hamburg, Germany with our class.

This is Liz and Lizette. They take care of us here at AMFI. Liz, a fellow Canadian, is from Alberta and Lizette is from Frankfurt, Germany.

Dan was smart and remembered his Mentos just in case we got ourselves into a pickle.

On our first night we went to the Reepervahn, a popular street in Hamburg for partying.
Also seen in this photo, our good friend Aturo.

Jos also came to join the fun. He is from Holland but has spent some time working and having fun in Banff, home of Daniel Booth Esquire.

On the second day we went on a city tour. We stopped to see this church, St. David's. . . or St. Michael's . . . or something like that.

There were also a lot of swans!

This is a model of the harbor area in Hamburg.
Our tour guide thought it was important that we see it.

On the last night our entire group went out for dinner.
We had some soup and a schnitzel.

Overall, the trip was pretty boring. The main point of it was to visit companies to see how they are run logistically, and to see the city. The first company we visited was Otto, an international mail order company and the other two we "accidentally" slept through. The best part of the trip was our last night, when we went out drinking with our teachers. Obviously we were on our best behavour and Dan and I passed all our exams. The next time I got to Germany I'm hitting up Berlin. The plane ticket is officially on my Christmas wish list.
