Ethan's Trip to Europe

I'm Ethan, and I went on an amazing trip to Europe! Me and my family went to Salzburg, Austria, Munich, Germany and Prague in the Czech Republic.

In Salzburg, we had the best German food! I ate a schnitzel bigger than my head. Everyone was amazed that a sixth grader could eat like that. It was delicious! In Salzburg, there is a giant fortress, and we went inside it and learned its history.

It is called Fortress Hohensalzburg and it was completed in the year 1500 and has stood ever since. It is so steep, that we took a special train up to it called a funicular.

Salzburg is a beautiful city. It has a river that runs through it, old buildings, churches and nice people. It was very clean.

Next, we had a terrible train ride to Prague. We didn't know you could reserve a seat, so every time we sat down, someone getting on the train took our seat. Prague had this dessert that had a lot of cinnamon and was famous there. I'm not quite sure what it's called, but it's kind of like a croissant.

In Munich, we went on an eight-hour tour. It was so fun we got to see castles and learn about all the history. Surprisingly, Austria had better German food. That's so strange, isn't it?

Our trip to Europe was so fun! If I gave you all the details you would be bored so I kept it short and sweet. I will see you next time I go on a truly awesome international trip!

Salzburg is a beautiful and clean city and the people are nice.

This is the famous "Eagle's Nest" that sits on top of a mountain in the Alps.

Munich had a great science museum. This display tracked your movements and showed you how your muscles and bones work together.

Our Salzburg hotel brought out a hive of honey every morning!
