Sept. 17, 2010

Today our group all packed a lunch for the road and hopped in to our modes of transport. We were headed to the historical city of Weimar. On our way we stopped at Aldi and what did I get? You probably guessed it… More chocolate. Doctor Anderson asked if there was going to be a need for an intervention and it was very possible that an intervention would be needed.
After hours of rocking out to Disney music in the car, we had finally arrived in Weimar. Our first stop was the final living and death place of Fredric Nietzche, the Nietzche Archiv. No pictures were allowed to be taken… I confess I took one picture… Here it is to the right. The woman in charge was following us all very closely after that. 
This house and museum was also an apartment for students at a nearby university. The main floor was the museum, but the room where Nietzche himself died was upstairs and roped off. Upstairs was where the students lived. I thought it very curious that this museum having such strict rules (you couldn’t even keep a guide paper) would allow for students to be living upstairs where the man died and wouldn’t even allow for museum goers to see it! Mystery that!
