One week down!





Hello from The Chateau de Portales! The past three days have involved quite a few activities! We attended Sunday mass at the Notre Dame Cathedral (it was INCREDIBLE!), met with our Strasbourg tour guide, Philippa, to be taken through the Musee des Beaux-Arts, Musee des Arts Deocratifs, and the Historical Museum, traveled to Haut-Koenigsbourg Chateau (an AMAZING castle with an unforgettable view and altitude of 757 meters), had lunch in Riquewihr at a restaurant called the BrendelStub, had a tour and wine tasting at the Louis Sipp Winery in Ribeauville, and rode bikes, explored, and ate many tasty treats! Our group has been busy, busy, BUSY, with our lectures having kicked off as well. We've been attending the EM Strasbourg Business School to be lectured by our professor, Dr. Sunderman, as well as other guest lecturers from the university, Dr. Mac Gabhann and Dr. Kreitz.
