Lübeck and the Baltic Sea
Friday, October 3rd, 2008
On Saturday, several of the USAC students chose to go to Lübeck and the Baltic Sea. The trip was nice. We got to see an aerial view of Lubeck from St. Peter’s Cathedral and checked out Mary’s Cathedral. I’m really glad we did. There was some pretty cool stuff inside . We had to leave though because they were starting a service. Outside we got to see the devil’s stone. I made friends with him. He was a lot friendlier than I would have expected.Legend says that the devil, thinking the town’s people were building a wine bar, and since he earned so many souls from people who hang out in them, he started to help build the church. After he found out it was going to be a church, he picked up a boulder and was going to destroy the church with it, but the town’s people negotiated and made a deal with him that if he didn’t destroy the church, they would build a wine bar across the street (which still remains there).Anyways, after that we went to check out the Maripan cafe and museum. Well, what we thought was the cafe. After our delicious desserts, we realized that it wasn’t the right cafe and had to search all over again. We finally found it, checked out the Niederegger museum, and had more desserts in the real cafe.Afterwards we took a sidetrip to the Baltic, which was really cool. Katie, Megan, Jillian, and Star all went walking around in it. I, having seen jellyfish in there, decided against it. Luckily none of them were stung. Unfortunately, because of the train schedule, we were only able to stay for an hour.
After that we headed back to Luneburg. Katie was feeling adventurous, so she wanted to try this Spanish restaurant near Am Sande. After an awesome meal, mine included a steak fillet, we headed over to Happy Billiards to finish off the night. We played teams and thankfully, I was on my game. I talked myself up a little, so I wanted to make sure I was good. Won 5 out of 5 for team play, and ran the table on a game of Cut Throat. Overall, it was a pretty good night.
