Students are counting the days now until their return, but they still managed to take a little time and explore some of what Bavaria has to offer!
On Saturday, July 25, eight students accompanied Professor O'Neal and the AmbEx team to the village of Kallmuenz, just a 45 minute bus ride from Regensburg. Although the day started out quite rainy, the sun broke through just in time for the small group of hikers to set up the hill toward some fascinating castle ruins. Students and staff alike took the opportunity to explore the ancient stone walls and to enjoy a delicious packed lunch before dipping their toes in the Naab River. It was a great day to be out in the German countryside!
The next afternoon, a group of 12 students, again accompanied by Professor O'Neal and members of the AmbEx team, made their way by car up the Naab River, where they launched off on a 4-5 hour canoe ride downstream. Much to the group's delight, they stopped at a spot across from a scenic monestary only to find a wonderful rope swing! Almost all enjoyed a nice dip in the river before continuing on their journey.
Both the hiking trip and the canoe trip were great ways for the students to unwind from their studies, which are slated for completion at the end of the week!

Tony the Chef
A word about Tony!
Anton, or Tony, is the head chef at the Youth Hostel in Regensburg. He is taking very special care of our group, making sure we get to sample Bavaria's finest dishes, from Spaeztle noodles with cheese to kaiserschmarn, a dessert pancake with apples and raisins! He always has something new on the menu for us to try and makes a point to have only the finest and freshest food. The daily dinner salad bar is a crowd favorite!
Tony is a great example for the students of a model Bavarian. His thick regional dialect and get-things-done demeanor both delight us and keep us in line while dining! The Germans say, "there must be order," and for Tony, that's true! But the rules of his kitchen ensure that our meals are kept hot and fresh and his fun and active demeanor delight the entire group.
We love Tony and all he does for us in the kitchen at the Regensburg Youth Hostel!!

Summer Travel
Students had a great time from July 4-12 as they took a week to explore all Europe has to offer. Students traveled in small groups to fascinating places, from London, Paris, and Prague, to more exotic locales like Portugal and Croatia. They all made it back safe and sound, though, to begin their final round of classes with Professors O'Neal and Johnson.
