We arrivea in bssen,
for dinner and our even
ing concert. The concert
was given at A Teachers
College. The concert was
very well performed,the
audience loved us. Miss
Johnson seemed very well
pleased and after the con
cert Mr. Bonn, president
of the college brought all
of us beers. The Germans
were very warm and cor
dial. The reception was
held at the Stern Bier
Export Clubo The Ger
man beer was delicious 11
We took pictures of the
people at the reception,
they appeared to be very
warm - hearted and
friendly. After the re
ception we left and they
came outside in the cool
to wave goodbye. They
were truly beautiful peo
ple, I will never forget
them.
After spending the
night at Hotel Salm, we
arose early the next day
to take a drive of the
Rhine River. During the
drive we passed through
the city of Bonn, the home
of Beethoven, to learn
that the city had been
destroyed three times by
the Franks, Romans and
World War II. It was dur
ing the Rhine River Drive
that we saw the many
castles located on the
German hills (American
mountains).
The next day - Hei
delberg, O’Heidelberg, af
ter hearing so much a-
bout Heidelberg, I was
very excited to see the
Heidelberg castle. Heid-
leberg is a small city
with a population of 140,-
00 people. The University
of Heidelberg, the oldest
in Germany, was built in
1436. This city was con
sidered the heart of Ro
manticism. The castle
was built in 13th century.
It was destroyed in 1618
and 1764. We visited
the Kings’ hall, the cha
pel, the terrance over
looking the cityofHeidle-
berg and the kings’ bed
room - the marble was
beautiful.
