Goodbye Bonn

July 26- 29

The Monday following our weekend in Prague we attended a surgery at the University hospital in Bonn. Chad and I saw a spinal decompression, where the surgeons removed some bone and tissue to remove some of the pressure being placed on the spine. We also had our last cultural studies class with Ture where we discussed the difference of the German definition of friend and the American definition.

On Tuesday we ventured south of Bonn to visit the Marksburg Castle and partake in a Rhine cruise. After touring alongside the Rhine we had enology class. We tasted various white wines at a nice little restaurant situated near both the castle and the Rhine. It was quite an experience – a lot of fun.

Wednesday we had class with Dr. Wasser followed by a tour of the Museum of Anesthesiology with Prof Stockl. Prof Stockl was an older man who actually invented and designed many of the antique anesthesia machines. He knew everything there is to know anesthesia.

Friday we visited the Museum of the Federal Republic of Germany which included everything post 1949. It was a nice museum with a lot of information on Germany post WWII.
