There are some things that you really just can’t do in the United States, and exploring castles is one of them. During the last two weeks of October, all schools within my German state have vacation. During the first week, I went on holiday with my host family to the tiny city of Augustusburg. The city starts at an altitude I assume is fairly average, but slopes up and up until it reaches Schloss Augustusburg or Castle Augustusburg.
There, on top of that little mountain, with its sizable castle, is where I lived for the week. Although there wasn’t much going on in the small city, I got to learn a lot about it’s history, ride a ‘summer sleigh’, look at beautiful rocks from across the world, and see an amazing bird show that included a very American bald eagle.
