We can barely believe it!! This is our last week living in Heidelberg. This week is our week of finals but we are not worried about any of them really. So what we are really focusing on this week is planning for our trip to Rome next week!!! We are planning on spending 2 days in Florence and 3 days in Rome! There is so much to see in these cities. We are looking forward to seeing all of the Roman ruins, art work, and experience the History there. David faxed in a request to get tickets for an audience with the Pope! We are both looking forward to seeing him.
More about this week. They now have this huge Christmas Market all around Heidelberg! This afternoon we are planning on walking around and taking pictures of the town decorated for Christmas. So look forward to seeing those soon!
Last night our group had our final concert! Everyone played a short piece that they have been working on this semester. Jessica played a part of a song she plans to do in her Recital. David played the last 2 movements of one of the several pieces he has learned this semester. Also he played a piece that he wrote this semester in his composition lessons. He has been learning about 21st century music and the piece is written off the 12 tone system and different techniques used in the 20th century. Everyone really enjoyed hearing his piece and if you ask me, it was amazing! I always love watching him playing something that he wrote.
It was really great to get to hear every one in the group play. All of our teachers were there also, so it was great to have their support. It is sad to think that this semseter is coming to an end and we will not be able to continue studying here. But more then that we are so anxious to be back home with our families.
1 Week and 6 Days left!
