Freilichtmuseum

---

Today guess what I did? A cultural excursion at an outside museum like the titile says. It was really nice. This museum is an outside village representing different jobs that were practised years ago. Like way back when.... Canada was just being discovered... Well not quite, their where representations of different jobs mostly in the 1800's-1700's. There houses where really cool I expected it to be like the villeage dans temps ou Upper Canada Villeage with houses and blacksmiths and farming and so on, but it really was focused only on the different jobs back then. I had a problem understanding everything or actually what went on because all the signs where only written in German so I couldn't read them. My host mom did the best job at triing to explain everything to me the best she could which was really nice. I still liked it alot because every building was old and smelt old too.

I was more interested in the arcitecture of the buildings then of the job representations. I would have wished that these houses would have been decorated with the artifacts of the time but that wasn't the case. I went there with my family and Holga's family too But Johanna didn't come. So it was just the little kids and all seemed really bored out of their minds. It wasn't for them they would have prefered going back to KIrmes in town but they where stuck there. We stopped for lunch at some resto their I ate what I would name a German version of the Hamburger. It was rye bread with mustured salami and salad I think and that was it. I was alright really typical of this region. Today in my beautiful town again like yesterday it was really nice and really warm. My host mom yesterday told me I should stay out in the sun. She probably was refering to my pale skin everybody is tanned here. But today I too got a little colour on my face staying out in the sun. Tonight I see lightning right now it's very pretty. It's not raining at the moment but will be soon probably.

I left many details out tonight because I guess I got distracted with the lightening outside my window now it's over. I bought a book for an euro about all the jobs that where there at the museum and what is going on all in english. I didn't look at it yet that's why I cannot say for sure what is taking place in the pictures. But I guess it was mostly different types of metalsmits. Leather goods, food, Wood, print and the types of things back in the 1800's as I said before

I'll go to bed now
