Today we toured the Wartburg Castle. We hide to hike a little ways to get up to it, but it wasn't too bad. The views from the Castle were beautiful.
We had a guided tour for the first part of it, and then toured the second half on our own. We saw Luther's room where he translated the New Testament from Latin to German.
Following the tour, we had lunch at the Wartburg Hotel: white table linens, fork in the left hand and knife in the right, napkin in the lap, type of dinner. We ate local potato dumplings, marinated beef, and red cabbage. We then hiked down from the Castle to the city center of Eisenach and had more ice cream!
We walked to our youth hostel and have free time this evening. About half of us have already been to the grocery store and it was a very "American" trip: chips, candy, etc. among the purchases.
