Riquewihr – in the Land of Fairy Tales

We went back to France again. And back in time to the Middle Ages, just the same. What happened? Our teacher invited us to join her on a short trip to Riquewihr, France – a romantic little town in the heart of Alsace. Vineyards, and little alleys which look like you just entered the fairy tale world of the Beauty and the Beast. Even an all-year-round Christmas market is part of the deal, and everywhere do confectioners offer free samples of pastry. Maybe fairy tales can come true …

Graduation Banquet

We’re back in class, and that means learning is the order of the day. But not exclusively. Last night, our school invited us to celebrate the graduation of some of our classmates with no less than a banquet. A Swabian banquet, with local treats such as Black Forest cake and the likes. This is how school is exactly according to my taste!
