Aarau

Today I had a trip with my Biology class to a museum in Aarau (Aarau is the capitol of Aargau, which is the canton that Rheinfelden is in (However, I am no long in this canton)). The museum was great. I learned about where certain food comes from and the pros and cons with the worlds food system today. After the museum tour, I decided to stay behind in Aarau and look around the city. Now, I am no expert photographer and I don't have a fancy camera, but I ended up taking a bunch of pictures of things that I found inetresting. So here is the city of Aarau from my point of view. (Sorry, some of the photos are sideways.)

New Home!

Today I left Rheinfelden for a new host family in Füllensdorf.

I was sad to leave but I get another great addition to what I call my family!

I came home to a great welcome sign, flowers, and chocolate! What more could anyone want!






A cute snake made out of my bath towel.



Advents calenders!

I also went to see an opera tonight with my music class. It was called Tosca and it was in Italian and on a bored above the stage they had German subtitles. And boy was I confused! It actually wasn't that bad. I could read most of the German and it's not difficult to see what is going on. I just missed out on the smaller details. It was my first Opera and I thought it was very good. They were excellent singers, but my goodness was it long! 3 hours! It was a great experience but I think I will stick to normal musicals.
