First Day Pictures!

Since I'm sick and have nothing else to do I'll post some pictures I took the first couple days that I never uploaded :)

 
These are pictures I took from the car when we were going into town. I thought the open fields were so pretty.

This is where my host sister Kaja does Gymnastics


If you can see the little tunnel, it leads from the Neu Bau to the Alt Bau, 2 different buildings. I thought this was pointless at first because you can just walk outside and go in through the front door but this tunnel is crucial in bad weather


I don't know what this graffiti represents but it is all over the school

The back of the school, with wittle Mirja in the picture :)
Tiny car







Where the mayor's office is. I saw in a book about the history of Detmold a picture of Hitler standing in front of this building with a row of Nazis and he was making a speech. Kind of interesting.







This is the sign of the region, Lippe, that I live in. I see it everywhere.


I forget what this is! I think it is an old castle.


A theater.

Herman's foot
Potato Bar

My house!!!

At a zoo type of thing

Mt Herman, an old statue that is meant to point towards France as a sign of defense
