Photos
The other day after language school, the exchange students and I went on a tour of Bonn. All the students who were there were Margy, and Clint from the USA, Bruno and Heidie from Brasil, and two other kids who one was also from the US, and the other also from brasil. It was manly Margy, Clint, Bruno, Heidie, and I sticking together though. At first we went into a house where the mayor and queens, kings, dukes, and other upper class people have been. We walk in and we are given a tour of the house but my friends and I cannot help but to make a tour of our own. First we walked past a large painting of a girl, and clint and I both said it looked more like a guy, so here we are taking photos with this ugly he she photo. To us it was just a weird lady, but to the tour it was a priceless painting.... who knew. Than we walked into a ball room, where kings and queens celebrate, and there were two magnificant chandeliers made of crystal hanging from the top of the room. Oh every wall there were tapesties, and the room was light up by huge windows along the walls. Heidie and I starting to dance in the room, making funny faces as we twirrled, and once again everyone was snapping photos, and laughing. Than we went outside and walked around Bonn. It was bethoveen day, so there were sculptures and painting of him everywhere, and we first went to his house in bonn. This is the part where the tour was getting very long, so we started snapping funny photos everywhere we could. I was walking and taking photos of the portraits that were embedded into the sidewalks. Than I took photos of paintings, and than i got to a bethoveen statue and Heidie, Margy, Clint, Bruno and I went up onto the stature and I was holding his arm, and we took some really great photos. Than we walked to the a large chappel, church,,, im not really sure what it is called but we went there. Earlier before the tour i was meeting someone by this chappel and I called him and told him I was by a big I, and now i know the there is more to this I than what i thought. The lady who gave us a tour said people were punished on that I, and tied so people could throw things at them. So of course we acted like we were all in trouble and strapped to this big I. I also had a pair of my cop sunglasses on so Heidie and I took some photos of me having her arm behind her back, and i used my camera case to look like a walke talke. The photos were absolutley hilarious. Than we went around the chapel and there were two large stone heads lying down. So we climbed up on them and took pictures of us on the head, or picking its nose, or me going to kiss the lips of it. Than we walked into a park where there were alot of punks wearing all black with their hair colored and spiked. I wanted to get a picture of them so I stepped really far back from the group acting like i was taking a photo of the group and than really fast tured the camera and snapped a photo of them. I thought they did not notice but as we left they started to laugh and shout in german saying I got a photo they wanted one to, and they were holding up their camera, so Heidie and I laughed and booked it as fast as we could towards the group :D. Finally the last of our funny photos was with a cannon that was by the Rhine river, I got the idea to grab a stick and act like i was lighting it off, and i had one hand up to my ear while lighting the cannon with the other. Heidie and I were laughing so hard by this time, and we also took a photo of where I was donig the same thing but Heidie jumped in teh photo putting a petrified look on her face and plugging both ears. Soon we had margy, and clint doing the same thing, lighting off this cannon, and than we had Bruno who is very tall stick his head in the cannon. I think the cannon was the most fun of all the pictures because it was just something so simple but it was the most fun to do. After wards though i went to see the photos and my camera started to act funny, and said doing this will delete all photos off card so i clicked cancel but than i went to view all my pictures and the camera had erased them all. So i had lots an entire day of photos.... I was not the happiest person ever, but the day was still great photos or not.

Oh....I feel your pain! I did that once in Russia. Your story is so funny. Imaginations work well without pic's.
Haa! Hannah!! Your exploring during the tour reminds me of the museum in Ashland where a certain young lady got on a certian antique machine that was "off-limits"!!! And yes I too have completely deleted pictures from my camera!! The worst was when your dad and I took pictures of the boys and I at our Cubs game and somehow on our trip back home someone got into our car and stole the camera and ALL of the disks (the camera although expensive was replaceable but not the photos)!! But like you we had tons of memories to share!!!! I had a photo of ROB LOWE on there!!!!!!;-)
(Sorry!! My first post published under the wrong acount!!)LOL!!
I did that once on a trip to Washington DC. It sounds like some of your friends should have photos--maybe they'll make copies for you. I could easily picture in my mind what was happening with all of your descriptions.
