We headed out early that morning not really knowing what we would do. We ended up going to a few castles seeing a few sights, and strolling through a few cities. As we reached the top of one look out tower one of the heads of our program kept telling me places to find beer in case we ran out that night. I wasn't really sure if he was joking or not. For just a few days ago we were to have a group pub crawl in Bonn to get acquainted with the city and have a good time. However, certain people from another program did somethings that resulted in it being cancelled. We thought that was the end of the cool AIB.
Nein! We were wrong. Eifel proved to be one of the greatest experiences. The first night we got our rooms. Basically we had a little house to ourselves, complete with kitchen, living room, fireplace, and even a sauna. This was to about seven people, and we loved every single second of it. We go to the dining hall to get dinner, and feast on meals of the most delicious potatoes I have ever tasted. They serve us a beer and we cheer. All is good in the world. Then the beer just keeps flowing. Then suddenly something wonderful happened. Our teachers and faculty as well us were all on the same level. Which is a great feeling. The night ended with a blindfolded beer tasting challenge.
The next few days held cinematography projects, but since I had already taken this course in the states I basically just got some B-roll for my internship project and relaxed all day, hanging out with the professors. That night we had wine tasting, followed by the guys in my cabin going back starting a fire, playing some music on the guitar, and drinking some hot tea.
The next morning a few of the guys and I went on a morning hike and watched the sun rise over Eifel. It was a pretty amazing weekend, and I gotta say I must agree with what everyone told me about this program. You really do become your own little family.
