Rosenburg Castle

The Haus staff took us to Rosenburg Castle today. They had a special Falconry show we got to watch for about an hour. First, let me tell you it is cold here so good thing we all wore layers, except Jeff H. as he liked it.

Anyway, I can't tell you what they were saying, but many different falcons and owls flew literally right over our heads. They would lure them back with this fake bird on a string, then feed them something. The something...worms, meat not really sure what it was.

They also were all dressed up in Renaissance attire and brought a few horses out too. One owl was a bit stubborn and didn't want to go back to the trainer. Eventually he did, but it was pretty funny. When the show was over we did lunch sitting in the van, because we are wimps in the cold. The brave few from Indiana, Illinois and Jeff H. ate outside picnic style. Then, we did a walking tour of the castle which was fun.

Tonight is worship service. Tomorrow the real work begins. I think they know it takes this long for us to get over jet lag so that's why we come so much earlier than the students.
