Mrs. Tofani is looking forward to hearing about Grace's trip to the Turks & Caicos Islands, Blake's trip to Disney World, and Natalie's trip to Germany. Let's see who blogs the most!
Mrs. Tofani is hoping that Blake has a great time at Disney World. Maybe he will be able to blog us from the Magic Kingdom.
Dear Class Mates and Mrs. Tofani,
This is Natalie and my dad. I am posting from my Great Aunt Anne Marie´s house in Bückeburg, Germany. To get here we flew from Atlanta to Amsterdam, and then from Amsterdam to Hanover. My Opa (Grandpa) picked us up from the airport and drove us to Great Aunt Anne Marie´s. My Tic Toc Oma (Great Grandmother) lives with Great Aunt Anne Marie. At Oma´s, I met my Great Aunts and Great Uncles. My Uncle David and Aunt Nicki are also here with their two children John and Christen. Oma and Opa are here also.
German culture is a little diffent than America. Their national sport is soccer. They eat their big meal at lunch time and open faced sandwiches for breakfast and dinner. Between lunch and dinner they have cake and tea.
My Dad is typing this because their keyboards are different than ours. They have 30 letters in their alphabet, and we have 26. The additional letters are ä, ö, ü, and §. The first three are the long vowels for a, o, and u. The dots on the top are called umlauts. The last one is a double s.
Great Aunt Anne Marie has a florist shop and nursery at her house. Great Uncle Rolf has a car garage and electronic shop next to Great Aunt Anne Marie´s flower shop.
Yesteray we celebrated Tic Toc Oma´s 85th birthday. Today, we went to der Bückeburg Shlo§. (the Bückeburg Castle). Prince Alexander lives at the castle. The chapel is the oldest room in the castle. It is 702 years old. The first 6 princes had their hearts seperated from their bodies and buried beneath the chapel, because they believed their hearts would be closer to god. Prince Alexander is the prince of Shaumburg-Lippe.
Count Wilhelm in 1762 helped defend Portugal from Spain. In return the king of Portugal gave him a golden cannon. While in Portugal, Count Wilhelm visited a chocolate factory. After the war he started the first chocolate factory in Germany. Germany is famous for it´s chocolate thanks to him.
While on our castle tour we fed the castle ducks that live in the mote. We fed them from the bridge that crosses the mote. After our tour we had ice cream. German´s love ice cream.
Tomorrow, we are going to Köln (Cologne). We are going to see Der Dom. (The Cathedral) We are also going to the Chocolate Museum. I will write more when I return from Köln.
This is Mrs. Tofani. Thank you for blogging us from Germany. We loved hearing about your trip to the castle. I am especially excited that you visited a chocolate factory. I LOVE CHOCOLATE!! I am sure you are having a great time. Your Tic Toc Oma must be so happy to see what a wonderful girl you are. We miss you in class. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Write if you can. Love, Mrs. Tofani
