Point Alpha

Happy 4th of July! Yesterday I went to Point Alpha which was a USA military base back during the cold war which sat right a long the border between East and West. It was very interesting and cool to learn about how Germany use to be when it was divided. Today is my last day of classes and then I have one test tomorrow! My parents, grandma, and aunt and uncle are coming to Schmalkalden tomorrow to pick me up. I can't wait to see them and hear about there tours of Germany. It is hard to believe that five weeks has gone by so fast, but I am ready to be home.
