Scenes of Amberg

These are some pics of both the city of Amberg, where we live, and the various places /people of Ambex, the program we're attending.



The first set of arrivals (Friday, Jan. 18)-- sitting in front of the large church building that holds classrooms and girls' dorm (sounds strange, I know, but for this first semester of existence as a program, this place has the right amount of space for our needs and wants).


The Vils River, as it runs under the wall of Altestadt (old town) Amberg.


More of the river. It is muddy right now because of all the rains of January and December.


One of the main gates along the wall. Although the city has, of course, grown over recent centuries, the wall completely encircles the "original" city, making for a photogenic break between old and new.


In the old town.




Our complete group, on a chilly tour of the city. Too bad this came out fuzzy.


Bowling at the Vilseck American military post-- "Little America."


Waiting (in a side room) for the evening service to start at High Point Baptist Church.


Chit-chatting in the girls' dorm.


Our main classroom (during a study time, not during a class, hence the messiness).


Classmate Bonnie!

The house where our Student Life Coord., Beth, has an apartment.


Back in old-town Amberg.
