Day 2 - Day Trip to Rothenberg, Germany

By Eric Schroeder, Sr, OL, Maria Stein, Ohio

This morning we got up early and headed to Rothenburg. We were still pretty tired this morning because of the jetlag, but after the napping on the bus ride there we were feeling better.

The tour was great. We learned a lot about the history on Rothenburg, which has been preserved as a 14th-century walled-midevil community.

We ate at an authentic German restaurant that was really interesting, the way the present the food.

The coolest thing that we did all day was practiced with a semi-professional team (Franklin Knights). We ran drills together and taught them things to make themselves better.

This was a different experience, but it was neat to teach the sport of football to people who haven’t been playing the football as long as we have and teach people the game. Each team gets to have four Americans, who are paid to play.

I think the biggest problem I am having is trying to keep enough Euros in my pocket to buy stuff.
