Leipzig!

---

Leipzig is a big city in Thuringia with a population of about 500,000 people (a little bigger than Lexington). Louisa needed to take an exam at Leipzig University, so Ellie and I tagged along to see the city. Some of you may know Bach, the St. Thomas Boy's Choir, St. Nicholas's Church (where the PEACEFUL movement started to end communism). It was a really interesting city, and everything was within walking distance of the train station.

I'm having a little difficulty uploading panoramas, but I'll work on that.

Interesting columns inside the sanctuary, and one statue outside that looked like the columns

A pew, the seats were numbered, and this one was around 500.
