Overview of Germany trip

My study abroad was located in Munich, Germany.  This program included weekend travels, company tours, and classroom activities.  We went on an adventure every weekend to see various places near Munich.  Some of the places we visited were a high rope park in the mountains, Lake Tegernsee, the alpine slide, and the Linderhof Palace.  We took a cable car to the top of a mountain that had a spectacular view.  The Alps are like nothing that I have ever seen.  A once in a lifetime experience.  They even had a little cafĂ© at the top where you could sit and drink a beer, while taking in the view of the mountains. Lake Tegernsee was my favorite trip.  We took a boat ride around the lake that was surreal.  It was like floating through a picture. After weekends of fun we headed back to the classroom Monday morning.  The classes went fast and were interesting.  The topics included German culture, lean management, and ergonomics.  The lean management class was the most fascinating. I do not want to give away the details of the class, but it promoted team work.
