August 9th

Today is my only full day in Hamburg. Stefan took me on a small tour of parts of the city. It's pretty nice. We saw some of the harbor and also a tribute to the Beatles.


We then saw a little more of the red light district. This time, I took a few pictures of some of the shops.

We then went to St. Michaeli's Church. It's a Lutheran church, and even has a statue of Martin Luther outside. The interior is absolutely beautiful!


I then went on a small tour (by myself, Stefan had to go to a meeting) of part of the River Elbe. I saw some pretty neat buildings. Great architecture. Some of the huge ships were pretty cool, too.

We then went to the "Rathaus", which is the city hall. Absolutely gorgeous architecture, inside and out!

We then saw a model of the city...that was pretty cool.


Then, we went back to St. Michaeli's Church and went to the top of the tower...the view was amazing!

So, Hamburg is a pretty cool city. I really like it! :)
