So Mulhouse is the closest relatively big city to us. And thinking we should get more social Anna and I decided to meet up with some other language assistants in Mulhouse and check out their famous automobile museum. Or as we like to call it: "whoring ourselves out".
So we arrived in Mulhouse the last Saturday with the train and took our bikes on! How awesome! it only takes about 15 minutes ride. I am loving the European train network more and more everyday!
We met up with 4 other assistants Fernando, Jade, Ruth and Scott and checked out the automobile museum. Mulhouse used to be the manufacturing center for automobiles for France so it is kind of like Detroit....... except not broken. So there is actually lots of cars and vintage stuff here you wouldn't find anywhere else. Maserati, Porches, Mercedes Benz, Ferrari and of course Bugatti were know display. The most expensive car is located in this museum. That honor of course belongs to the French made Bugatti driven by Mr. Bugatti him self. it's valued at 40 million euros! Kind of like a modern day FIRST! on youtube comments except worth infinitely more in value.
Everyone was amazing and we made good friends with all of the assistants and we already have plans to explore the other town Colmar this weekend together. Fernando is an assistant from Mexico who has a PhD and can speak 4 languages. Jade, Scott and Ruth are all from England and we had a good laugh about differences in the same language. I felt quite cornered with the brits encircling me at dinner but they are a lovely bunch and quite cheeky as they would like to say. I also learned that they call comforter covers duvet covers. Lols don't ask.
Today I went back to Mulhouse again to get some tune up on my bike. Only this time I biked and didn't take the train. It is about 30km to Mulhouse. I got lost half way there and so I'll arrived after 2 hours of riding. But normally it should only take me about 1.5 hours. I met up with Ruth and we did some geocaching together. The cache we picked is quite well organized and consisted of a mystery we had to solve. We found 2 out of the 3 cache in the series but finally after 1 hour of looking around and appearing sketchy around the tram tracks of the city center we gave up and called it a day. The cache was probably lost so we made a log and if other people post hints we have plans to go back to finish up the mystery.
That's it for Mulhouse as of now! Next up Colmar!
