A Change in Plans
Today was another cool and drizzly day. We decided to postpone our visit to Dachau in hopes for better weather tomorrow. Swapping activities for the day meant that we went to the Alte Pinakothek (Old Art Museum). It was amazing to see some of the original works of Rubens, Durer, Rembrandt, Breugel, etc. Everyone seemed to have a favorite and the reasons overheard by this faculty varied from subject content to philosophical view to use of color and style.
The rest of the day we were free to explore the city. Some students had definite plans for museums and tours while others chose to hop the subway and see where it took them. So far all reports have been positive. One of the best things that we have been hearing is about substantive conversations with locals and reflective discussions of cultural differences.
Next time we really will have been to Dachau. We will try to post some pictures and get some students to contribute.
