On the road again

We are back on the bus headed to Munich, which I am way excited about. I did enjoy Nuremberg these past two days. There is so much history there. And getting to stand where Hitler once did overlooking the Zeppelin Field was definitely an experience, not something I can easily describe though. The thing that interested me most was how even the architecture of the Nazi's was propaganda. The Congress Hall was intended to influence people using facades and lighting. If it had been completed with the designed roof then Hitler would have appeared at the center of all the light. The Nazi's also used ancient architecture to give justification to their power, such as the Congress Hall resembling the Coloseum. The Documentation Center was very interesting, and it was amazing how they incorporated modern architecture. There was so much that we learned yesterday, but it's time for our lecture on the bus that we missed last night! Later!
